Sport Nation 2Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Hugo Bueno is seeking a loan move to Celtic due to concerns over his playing time at Wolves. Despite already rejecting an offer from Norwich City, Wolves are now more open to sanctioning Bueno’s temporary exit.
Bueno, who has four years remaining on his contract, had limited opportunities last season and is eager to play a more prominent role in the forthcoming season. Celtic has been admiring Bueno for some time and may continue to pursue a deal.
However, Wolves are hesitant to let Bueno go due to doubts over Rayan Ait-Nouri’s long-term future at the club. Ait-Nouri has gained interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, but Wolves are not desperate to sell, having recently sold captain Max Kilman to West Ham.
Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil is unwilling to risk being left short of defensive options, especially with the Premier League season starting soon. Bueno’s potential exit may depend on Ait-Nouri’s future at the club.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers remained tight-lipped on the possibility of signing Bueno, indicating that an agreement is not close to being reached. Bueno’s statistics suggest he could be a valuable asset for Celtic, but Wolves’ negotiating position is strong due to his contract and potential replacements.
