Jorgen Strand Larsen's name is once again taking center stage in the Premier League transfer market. Following a summer filled with speculation over astronomical figures nearing €75 million, Wolverhampton's current reality has forced them to adjust their economic demands—though they are certainly not willing to let him go at just any price

With the 'Wolves' mired in a deep sporting crisis—earning just 8 points in 22 matches and sitting 14 points adrift of safety—the departure of the former Celta Vigo forward seems inevitable. According to Sky Sports UK, the club has already rejected an initial formal bid from Leeds United. While the exact amount has not been confirmed, it is believed that the Molineux board values the striker at £40 million (approximately €46 million).

"A Profitable Business Despite the Crisis"

This figure would represent a significant capital gain for Wolverhampton, who agreed to pay €30 million to Celta Vigo two seasons ago. Although his current performance has been modest (6 goals in 24 matches), his reputation in England remains intact thanks to the 14 goals he netted during the previous campaign.

Leeds is not the only club in the race; other teams with continental aspirations have inquired about his situation:

• Nottingham Forest: Currently sitting in Europa League positions.
• Crystal Palace: Competing in the Conference League.

Although Wolves have shown a slight improvement with a four-match unbeaten streak, the gap to safety remains seemingly insurmountable. This positions Strand Larsen as the most coveted asset in a potential 'fire sale' aimed at balancing the books ahead of an eventual relegation to the Championship.
