Wolves striker makes admission about summer plans

The Austrian striker, who joined Wolves in a £15million move from Stuttgart in the summer of 2022, has had rotten luck by suffering two anterior cruciate ligament injuries since joining the club.

The first came on his Wolves debut and the second came in February last year while he was on loan at German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

His Wolves future remains uncertain this summer and the forward has now hinted that he could depart when the transfer window opens.

“There are still a few discussions to be had before I know where I’m headed in the summer,” Kalajdzic said.

“I don’t want to rule anything out. I can’t speak for Wolves either. The Premier League is a step above the Bundesliga in terms of pace and intensity. It’s perhaps not the most optimal league to come back from an injury.

“But that’s looking too far into the future. Something new can happen every week. But I definitely need minutes and I know the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga knows me. If that were to happen, that would be great.”

Kalajdzic is now taking part in some training sessions again as he fights to return from this the third serious knee injury in his career.

The 27-year-old is not on Wolves' registered squad and will not play this season and he insists the 2025/26 campaign must be one where he has opportunities to play.

"I now have two repaired knees, I've found the right measures for myself to be fully fit and able to play again in the future, at 100 percent," he added. 

"I'm aware that I can't play 50 or 60 games in a season right now. Next season is about playing consistently to show my body that everything's fine.

"Physically, I feel great, ready, my strength levels are better than before, and I've even improved my maximum speed. My body is capable of playing professional football. I can once again show what I've already demonstrated in the Bundesliga."
