Wolves are prepared to reluctantly accept a £40 million offer from Nottingham Forest for striker Jørgen Strand Larsen in the current transfer window. The Norwegian forward, once valued close to £60 million after an impressive 14-goal season, has struggled to replicate that form this campaign, scoring only a handful of goals and failing to provide consistent impact in the Premier League. As a result, Wolves’ stance on his future has softened, and a significant bid would now be seriously considered.

The Midlands club’s difficult league position and financial considerations are driving this shift. Spending constraints, the need to balance the books, and the possibility of relegation have all contributed to Wolves’ openness to cashing in on one of their most marketable assets. Internally, there is a recognition that reinvesting a substantial fee into multiple areas of the squad may be more beneficial than persisting with a misfiring centre-forward on high wages.

Nottingham Forest have emerged as the leading contenders for Strand Larsen’s signature. Seeking to bolster their attacking options and replace underperforming forwards, Forest are understood to be weighing up whether to meet Wolves’ asking price. The move would represent a major outlay, but Forest view the 24-year-old as a physically imposing, Premier League-ready striker who still possesses considerable upside if restored to last season’s levels.

While Wolves would prefer to keep the player in an ideal scenario, the article stresses that the club’s hierarchy are now pragmatic about his sale. If Forest, or another suitor, table a bid in the region of £40 million before the deadline, Wolves are expected to approve the transfer, albeit with reluctance, and turn their focus to sourcing replacements and strengthening the wider squad.
