Wolves are looking to offer a new contract to £50 million player

Wolverhampton Wanderers have made their stance clear: Jørgen Strand Larsen is not for sale. The club rejected multiple offers from Newcastle United in the region of £50 million during the summer transfer window. Now with the transfer window firmly shut, Wolves are preparing to offer their Norwegian forward a new contract to secure his long-term future with the club.

A shining star amid Wolves' troubles

Strand Larsen joined Wolves from Celta Vigo this summer after spending the previous season on loan, scoring 14 goals. His impact in his first Premier League season was significant and consistent.

His brace against West Ham in the Carabao Cup sealed the victory for Wolves, and they now await Everton in the next round. After missing the last league game and the international break with Norway, fans will hope he returns to his best now that the transfer saga is over.

Post window priority: locking down Strand Larsen

With the transfer window now shut, Wolves are turning their attention to squad stability. Several outlets such as The Telegraph have reported that a new deal for Strand Larsen is being prioritised, not just to reward his performances, but more likely to fend off future interest ahead of the January window. His current contract, which was only signed a matter of months ago, runs until 2029, but the club want to reflect his importance to the team with improved terms.

Wolves' refusal to sell Strand Larsen, despite a £50+ million bid from Newcastle, signals a shift in strategy at Molineux. Rather than cashing in on a rising talent, the club appears to be building a more stable, forward-looking squad. With the transfer window now closed, offering the Norwegian a new and improved contract is both a reward for his strong debut season and a statement of intent. In a season where a fight for survival looks to be on the cards once more, keeping hold of players of this calibre must be the focus.
