# Wolves: Fans flock to Joao Moutinho transfer update

**Some Wolves fans have been flocking to a transfer update involving Joao Moutinho.**

According to [A Bola](https://www.abola.pt/) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers-moutinho-porto-transfer/)), FC Porto are eyeing up a move for the central midfielder in the summer transfer window, with the veteran reportedly available on a ‘lower salary’.

There is a ‘mutual desire’ from both the player and the club to make the move before the start of the new season, and Porto manager Sergio Conceicao is a big admirer of his.

Moutinho did not exactly have his best campaign in 2020/21, scoring just one goal and supplying one assist in 36 games across all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joao-moutinho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/29364/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)) as some Wolves supporters grew frustrated with a few of his performances towards the back end of the season, most notably against [Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/joao-moutinho-tottenham-spurs/) and [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/joao-moutinho-everton-premier-league/).

However, the 34-year-old has been a loyal servant to the Midlands club, playing in 137 matches across all competitions across the last three seasons ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joao-moutinho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/29364/plus/0?saison=&verein=543&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), and some Wolves fans are sad that he could be leaving.

### Wolves fans on Moutinho transfer update

These Wolves supporters flocked to the transfer update as it was shared on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1406228971000324102), with a couple claiming that the Portugal international has been ‘fantastic’ for them and wishing him well if he were to leave Molineux:

**“Glad for him. Will be great for him to finish his playing career back in his home country. Will always be thanking for his fantastic efforts for our club!!”**

**“Moutinho has been a revelation for #wwfc but to play in the Premier League in his position you need legs. Sadly he is no box to box player anymore. Time for fresh legs in our midfield.”**

**“Be a good move all round, he’s been fantastic in his time here but it’s time to look for a more dynamic midfield”**

**“Joao is the best technically gifted player that I’ve EVER seen in a Wolves shirt. I’ll be sad to see him go. But, I do think he went missing last season at times. I thought it was more to do with how Nuno set up with him. His set pieces were dire at times as well.”**

**“Just not sure about selling Moutinho, Neves, Rui and potentially Coady in one summer – that’s a lot of leadership and experience gone and not easily replaced.”**
