Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui wants clarification on the club’s transfer plans this summer amid doubts about his future at the club beyond the end of the season.
The Spaniard succeeded Bruno Lage when Wolves were bottom of the Premier League table in November and has overseen a remarkable turnaround in fortunes as they are safe with one game of the campaign to go.
Lopetegui insists he does not want to break the bank as he seeks to consolidate Wolves’ position next term, but there are Financial Fair Play concerns to consider over the next few months.
“When I came here, I came very happy with a big commitment, in a very hard situation for the club,” he told reporters.
“All of us put everything into these months, always thinking, if we are able to save the team, we will be able to dream for different things. But one thing is the dream, another is the reality.
“I have to balance what the real situation is for us. I am not asking for incredible signings. I am thinking of signing good players, young players, maybe Championship players, I don’t know.
“I am not thinking we are going to sign from Real Madrid or Barcelona, no. I am aware of our reality.”
While there is uncertainty surrounding Lopetegui, the former Spain and Real Madrid coach, who has two years left to run on his deal, says he still plans to be at Wolves next season.
“I have a contract here,” he added. “I am a coach for next year here now. But we will see what will happen because this is football.
“I have a responsibility here and I want to be responsible and know the final picture and I am going to take my opinion for the chairman.”
