Wolves Reject Fiorentina Bid For Super Eagles Striker Tolu Arokodare

Wolverhampton Wanderers have rejected a bid from Fiorentina for Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare as speculation over his future continues to gather pace.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Serie A side made an approach for the Super Eagles forward, but Wolves turned it down. He also disclosed that Turkish club Trabzonspor submitted a proposal, although Tolu Arokodare, 25, has no interest in making the move.

“Understand Fiorentina had a proposal turned down by Wolves for striker Tolu Arokodare. Trabzonspor also made a proposal but the player is not keen on the move,” Romano posted on 𝕏.

Wolves are reportedly demanding more than €20 million for the 25-year-old and are not prepared to sell unless their valuation is met.

Arokodare has attracted interest from several clubs following Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League, with Fiorentina becoming the latest side to test the Championship club’s resolve.

The Nigeria international joined Wolves from Belgian side KRC Genk last summer in a £23.4 million deal, signing a four-year contract that includes the option of an additional year.

He arrived at Molineux after an impressive spell with Genk, where he established himself as one of the Belgian top flight’s most prolific goalscorers.

His first season in English football, however, proved far more challenging. Arokodare managed three goals and one assist in 33 Premier League appearances as Wolves suffered relegation, with the majority of his outings coming from the bench.
