Expected to negotiate with Celta Vigo wolverhampton wanderers To be pulled this summer as they try to sign Fer Lopez permanently.

Atlantico reports on the situation today. They report that while Celta make no secret of their interest in retaining the Vigo midfielder, convincing Wolves to commit to a second loan will not be easy.

Celta is working on another deal

The newspaper reports that the Spanish side are currently working on a second withdrawal without any set deadline.

His clear desire is to conclude the negotiations as quickly as possible, but he does not expect them to develop this way. Instead, they will once again remain patient in their quest to sign the midfielder.

Their biggest advantage, as was the case in January, is the player’s own willingness to stay. Their hope is that this will force Ferr Lopez to reject other offers and significantly reduce the high salary he currently receives at Molineux.

return to the wolves

The Voice of GaliciaMeanwhile, Fer Lopez is reportedly expected to return to Wolves this summer following his loan spell. The newspaper makes no mention of hopes regarding a second signing this summer.

Multiple reports over the past few months have made it clear that Celta want to bring Vigo López back in some form or another next season.

Sport Witness covered a report Recently in this move money and interest on transfer will be the deciding factors. However, really, it all depends on the wolves.

It remains to be seen what they plan to do with Lopez after the Championship loss. He was not part of their plans this season after failing to impress following his move in the summer.

But after returning to Spain while on loan at his former club, perhaps now is the opportunity for Rob Edwards to have a second chance to impress at Molineux. It seems Celta are waiting for a message from Wolves before making a serious effort.

On March 31, Rangers Confirmed Rabbi Matondo’s Ibrox exit to join SK Brann on a permanent transfer. The Norwegian club snatched him from Danny Rohl’s team as the window there remained open until last month.

The winger joined Rangers from Schalke in July 2022 and has failed to cement a place at Ibrox.

To give context, he played 2,706 minutes in 70 matches and scored eight goals and 11 assists for Rangers.

In January 2025, the Scottish club sent him on loan to Hannover 96 and before that, we broadcast news Of interest to Ajax. Since returning from his loan spell in Germany, he lost prominence at Rangers.

Russell Martin did not give him any minutes and his successor Rohl used him twice in cup competitions this season. He played only one minute in the Scottish Premiership, which came against Aberdeen FC in November.

The restricted rule under Rohl this season may have convinced him to leave Rangers permanently in search of regular minutes.

Still to fly after the Rangers get out

Rabbi Matondo has yet to showcase his talents since leaving Ibrox for SK Brann a few weeks ago.

Since moving to Norway, Brann manager Friar Alexandersson had left him as an unused substitute in the first two matches.

At the weekend, the former Rangers man came off the bench late on to play a minute in his team’s 3-2 defeat to Viking FK.

Spoke to the Wales international after the latest defeat bergens tidende And his comments were published in Monday’s edition of the newspaper.

The attacker was barely on the pitch after coming off the bench in the 96th minute.

Matondo is unhappy with both his position and the latest defeat.

“Of course we wanted better results,” He said.

“It wasn’t many minutes. In my mind, I’m more prepared than ever and I was expecting more minutes, but this is football. I feel ready for more than three-four minutes on the pitch. If I had more time I could help more.”

Our opinion: Welshman’s slow start not surprising

The former Rangers player only playing a few minutes for SK Brann should come as no surprise.

This is because before moving to Norway, Rabbi Matondo had only played 65 minutes for Rangers this season. This suggests he lacks match practice and may need time to adjust to a new club in a new country.

Barring any surprises, players should take their time trying to solidify their place in Brains.

The firing of general manager Brad Treliving last week is clearly the first blow to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ownership and MLSE President and CEO Keith Pelley have made that clear. Insider Elliotte Friedman gives us the latest insider information about a recent meeting that has left employees around the organization on high alert.

Following the change in general manager, Keith Pelley held a Zoom call with members of the hockey operations department. And after it’s over, and from talking to several people over the past few days, it’s pretty clear that they’re expecting big changes.

I asked, ‘Did Pele say anything specifically about ‘change’ there?’ And it wasn’t that much Wordit was about how he talked. One of the things he mentioned was, ‘We’re going to use our resources to our fullest capacity.’ And he got the feeling that (Pelé) felt he wasn’t doing it. So I think people are expecting there to be more changes.

The Leafs are believed to have some strong analytical people on their staff, including special assistant to the general manager Darryl Metcalf and hockey research and development analyst Cam Charone. This is probably a big part of what the team president was referring to by reiterating that they were not utilizing their resources to their full potential.

More ‘big changes’ coming for Leafs front office

Pelé cited during his big press conference last week that he has plans to find a more ‘data-centric’ head of hockey operations. It seems like he’s looking for someone like… Kyle Dubas. Leafs fans have probably heard of this guy.

Dubas, who has the Pittsburgh Penguins on the verge of clinching a highly unlikely playoff berth this season, was the man who hired players like Metcalf and Charron for the Toronto front office. Dubas is the one who led that strong analytics department.

Of course, previous Leafs corner office ideologues decided to drop Dubas after the 2022-23 season, after seven seasons of playoff failures that included only one series win. The postseason decline continued for nine years following Dubas’ departure, and has now resulted in a complete ban on the playoffs this year.

For now, assistant GMs Brandon Pridham and Ryan Hardy are co-managing the Leafs on an interim basis.

Pelé and his staff have a lot of work to do to turn this around. From the sounds of it, a lot of people in that front office will be looking over their shoulders.

The irony is that the Leafs may have still won something by losing on Saturday night. By allowing the Los Angeles Kings to steal two points in an overtime win, LA remains in a tie for the final wild card berth in the Western Conference. If the Kings make the postseason, the third-round selection sent to Toronto for Scott Laughton at the trade deadline becomes a second-rounder.

In recent weeks, a number of Tottenham players have been linked with an exit.

Destiny Udogi is one and transfer vultures are swarming to take advantage of the situation. Spurs may not be used to it, but every season when Premier League clubs are hovering around the drop-zone, clubs are beginning to look around for a bargain.

Those clubs are often from Türkiye and Italy, initially looking for loans. This process has already started with Tottenham.

Udogi has played 22 times in all competitions this season, with his campaign hampered by injuries. He suffered a hamstring problem against Manchester United but returned to action against Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

The Italian would play a key role in the remainder of the season, with Igor Tudor’s team trailing by just one point.

sports witness Juventus’ interest in Udoghi has been covered, with the Bianconeri seeing him as a replacement for Andrea Cambiasso. The exit of the former Genoa player was seen as a way to finance the signing.

Now, the Old Lady are becoming desperate for relegated Tottenham to find a suitable deal.

Spurs could approve loan exit

Transfer Market ILook at Juve’s interest in Destiny Udogi, who has risen to prominence at Tottenham. He also plays as an inverted full-back, making him very similar to Cambiasso, who himself is very versatile by nature.

The outlet believes that if Spurs go down, a number of players could depart in the summer. Udogi could be one, even though his current contract expires in 2030.

Due to the old lady’s inability to make a permanent deal, they are hoping for a loan. If Tottenham are relegated, there is belief they will approve the loan. This is because they would like the full-back to play regularly and retain his value ahead of a permanent exit.

Juve will be interested in making that happen, with Luciano Spalletti’s side in pole position for his signature.

Our Opinion: Opting out can help a player

The 23-year-old player still has a long way to go in his career in terms of development. Tottenham have taken him to another level but it remains to be seen if they can help him reach the next stage.

The way things are going, Destiny Udogi may be set to settle at the London club. There are no signs right now that players can fulfill their potential there, even if they are not demoted.

That’s why the Italy international would be wise to consider an exit. He has experience playing in Serie A from his time at Udinese and Juve’s sale of Cambiasso could leave them open to a starter in the left-back spot.

So the player may be curious if the old lady really wants him.

VfB Stuttgart are seeking Europa League glory in the hopes of keeping Jamie Lewelling out of Bournemouth’s hands this season.

This is according to Sportbild. The German newspaper covered the club today and revealed how they need money to help them retain their top players in the summer.

According to his information, there are many players in the current Stuttgart team who aspire to play at the international level.

This means the German club will face competition to retain him if they are not successful this season.

Champions League dream

They want to qualify for the Champions League and are in the race to do so. But with competition fierce for Bundesliga places, Stuttgart are also turning their attention to the Europa League.

Success in that tournament could help bring in around €34m of additional revenue.

This will help them a lot in the fight to retain people like Leveling. He has already been targeted by the Premier League. Nottingham Forest tried last summer, before Bournemouth put €40m on the table in the January transfer window.

Cherries reportedly view the 24-year-old as a potential replacement for Antoine Semenyo. He left to join Manchester City last month, and Bournemouth now have a significant gap to fill in their squad.

Bournemouth wants leveling

It appears Leveling is the man they feel can fill the gap and they were willing to spend big to secure his signature. Stuttgart and Lewelling ultimately thwarted his efforts.

But the former are expecting a ‘top offer’ again this summer. If they are in a position to reject them again, Champions League qualification or Europa League glory, which would also get them into the Champions League, may be necessary.

There’s certainly a hope for one or both of these guys if the season ends exceptionally well. If not, Bournemouth will once again be looking for money to spend on their star man.
