Wolverhampton Wanderers could be closing in on a major attacking addition, with reports linking them to Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche. As reported by Talking Wolves, the 22-year-old Nigerian is now available for around £12.9 million after the Spanish club lowered their asking price due to financial pressures. With Vítor Pereira keen to strengthen his creative options, Uche has emerged as one of the most realistic targets before the transfer window slams shut.
Getafe Forced Into Sales By FFP
Getafe's decision comes amid La Liga's strict financial fair play and squad registration rules. The Madrid-based side must generate funds before they can register their summer signings, leaving Uche as the most sellable asset. AS reports that club officials view his sale as the simplest solution to ease the financial strain.
Valuation Drops To £12.9 Million
Initially, Getafe were demanding closer to £17.3 million for Uche, but journalist Eduardo Burgos revealed that their stance has softened to nearer £12.9 million. That figure matches his current Transfermarkt valuation. Though his long-term contract until 2028 means Getafe can still negotiate add-ons or a sell-on clause to protect their interests.
Christantus Uche started the 2025/26 LaLiga season in the most Christantus Uche way possible.

Wolves Monitoring Closely
Wolves' interest in Uche is said to be the most concrete of any Premier League side. Spanish sources have linked Uche as an option for Pereira's midfield, where his dribbling, creativity and ability to operate as both an attacking midfielder and second striker could add a new dimension.
While other Premier League and Bundesliga clubs are also circling, Wolves appear the best placed to capitalise if negotiations progress. With Getafe under pressure to sell and the asking price reduced, a move to Molineux is gathering momentum. This is definitely a transfer that could transform Wolves' attacking outlook this season.
