Julen Lopetegui has admitted that unhappy Goncalo Guedes wanted to quit Wolves.
The attacker has joined Benfica on loan for the rest of the season, just 165 days after moving to Molineux. The 26-year-old made a £27.5million switch from Valencia in the summer but Lopetegui has let him leave. He scored twice in 18 appearances for Wolves and has now made a return to Benfica, where he started his career.
“He wants to go out and we wish him all the best, he’s a very good player. I think he’s going to be happier there and we wish him all the best,” said Lopetegui, ahead of Sunday’s trip to Manchester City. “I prefer to talk about the players who are here. Goncalo wanted to leave and you can’t have players here who aren’t happy. We have to wish him all the best because I think he’s a good player and a very good guy.”
