Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Goncalo Guedes has indicated he would like to remain at loan club Benfica, but they won’t explore the idea until the end of the season.
That’s according to Jornal de Noticias, who say the Portuguese forward would be more than happy to remain with his former club on a permanent basis.
Guedes spent the second half of last season on loan at Benfica and renewed that deal in the summer, with neither he nor Wolves keen on a reunion after his disappointing year at Molineux following a €32.6m move from Valencia in August 2022.
Guedes is seemingly happy with how things are going and would like to stay where he is long-term, with the newspaper saying he ‘expresses his desire’ to remain.
Benfica are aware of this desire, and it has been noted by those in charge at the Portuguese club, but they will only consider evaluating a deal at the end of the season.
In other words, they see no reason to rock the boat at this moment in time given they have a loan deal secured until the end of the season.
Perhaps they want to wait and see how Guedes performs before potentially committing to a permanent deal with Wolves, who would presumably be looking to recoup as much of their initial outlay as possible.
