# Wolves: Old Gold ‘willing to sell’ Ryan Giles if they avoid relegation

**[Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are ‘willing to sell’ Ryan Giles should they avoid relegation from the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), according to journalist [Scott Wilson](https://twitter.com/Scottwilsonecho).**

### The Lowdown: January talks held

The Old Gold defender is currently out on a season-long [loan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-giles/transfers/spieler/504581) at Middlesbrough, where he’s been excelling under the guidance of Michael Carrick.

The Riverside Stadium outfit [reportedly](https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23355847.middlesbrough-wolves-make-decision-future-ryan-giles/) held initial talks with the Midlands hierarchy in January regarding a permanent transfer, though the club ruled it out at the time.

The 23-year-old’s contract at Molineux isn’t set to expire until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-giles/profil/spieler/504581), but it sounds like [Julen Lopetegui](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/julen-lopetegui/) has already made a decision on where his future lies, all depending on one condition.

### The Latest: Giles set for exit?

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/scottwilsonecho/status/1630946442998083584?s=46&t=hbNbUX4f3qKj8XuyONrYRw), Wilson revealed that Wolves will be open to a sale if they can avoid the drop at the end of the term. He wrote:

“Wolves will be willing to sell Ryan Giles to #Boro in the summer – provided they remain in the Premier League this season…”

Expanding in his column for [The Northern Echo](https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23355847.middlesbrough-wolves-make-decision-future-ryan-giles/), the reporter confirmed that the two clubs have an ‘open’ line of communication.

### The Verdict: Best for both parties

Giles has been [hailed](https://twitter.com/buntingfootball/status/1553446330630037504?s=46&t=ZOZD07-EPnaciQjzeq6TRQ) a ‘quality’ defender by journalist [Josh Bunting](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball), but Wolves letting him go would be the best outcome for both parties.

The Telford-born talent has only made [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-giles/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/504581) senior appearance during his time at the club and it’s likely that he wouldn’t get a look in on the first-team should they maintain their top-flight status.

Boro’s loan starlet has clocked up [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-giles/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/504581) assists in 35 outings across all competitions for Carrick’s side and is getting the regular game time he’s been craving so sanctioning a sale in order to progress his career further is what he needs.
