Wolves sign Lopez from Celta Vigo in £19m deal

Fer Lopez has joined Wolves for the first time this summer in a £19 million deal from Celta Vigo.

The left-footer, age 21, has signed for a five-year deal with the Molineux club.

Lopez made his Celta Vigo senior debut in October 2024, scoring four goals in 20 games overall.

He told the Wolves website, “It’s an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League. I’m very happy.”

When a club like this happens, you have little to think about when Manager [Vitor] Pereira] says he thought I fit into the squad.

I think Vitor is the best, and the team did a great job when Vitor arrived, so I’m very excited to be with him.

Lopez briefly attended Suffolk in 2018 and trained with Norwich City’s academy before joining Celta Vigo’s academy when she was 10 years old.

He assisted Celta Vigo’s La Liga season-ending seventh place finish.

Because it was everything I had dreams, “I cannot explain it in words,” Lopez said.

I spent two seasons at the Bernabeu, playing at Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and both of those places had the best atmospheres in Spain.
