What Jeff Shi is doing in the transfer market speaks volumes about Fosun’s Wolves takeover stance….
Wolves have aims of progressing up the Premier League with Vitor Pereira at the helm, but unfortunately, supporters are aware of how difficult that is under the current ownership.
Pereira was heavily praised after dragging Wolves to Premier League survival in 2024/25, ending the campaign in 16th position and a whopping 17 points above the bottom three.
Heading into the 2025/26 season, Pereira has ambitions of finishing in mid-table, but as is normally the case, there are question marks over the lack of investment.
Wolves pocketed almost £100 million alone from the sales of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, yet only around £38 million of that has been spent on the additions of Fer Lopez and Jhon Arias.
Pereira has already warned Fosun about a shortage of ambition in the transfer window, with the Old Gold needing at least four more signings in key positions. Now, Molineux News has spoken to a finance expert about his thoughts on their current financial position.

Fosun’s current stance on selling Wolves as PSR verdict shared
Fosun have always maintained a self-sustainable model, which focuses on generating cash from player sales and investing some of that into new signings.
Wolves are always unlikely to spend big, as the owners are unwilling to pump their capital into the club, and that has left many feeling frustrated.
Previously, there were talks of the Old Gold breaching profit and sustainability rules, yet in September 2024, chairman Jeff Shi claimed Wolves were never close to the line with PSR.
