Portuguese media Avola reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Wolverhampton sought to recruit Sporting midfielder Morita Hidemasa (30, Sporting CP), but it was not implemented' The media reported that `Wolverhampton wanted Morita as a replacement for Mario Lemina, who moved to Galatasaray.` However, Sporting sensed a move to extend his contract with Morita, and eventually dropped his recruitment plan because he had no intention of paying Morita, who is 30 years old, €10 million (W15 billion).`.
Morita entered Portugal in 2021 when he left Kawasaki Frontale to join Santa Clara. He stood out in a season after joining the team, wearing a Sporting uniform, and has been steadily maintaining his position. The Japanese national team has scored six goals in 39 A matches.
Morita's contract with Sporting expires in June 2026. Contrary to Sporting's plan, Wolverhampton may show interest again if he does not renew his contract with Morita. However, it is unclear whether Morita, who is now in her 30s, will be able to continue her skills in Sporting on the English stage, so it remains to be seen whether the actual proposal will be made.
Wolverhampton made a different choice just before the end of the winter transfer market. He spent £10 million to recruit Nasser Ziga (22), a Burkina Faso center back who played for Tsurvena Zvezda (Serbia). Nasser, who made his debut with FC Basel (Switzerland) in 2021, moved to Tsurvena for a transfer fee of 3 million euros in the 2023-2024 season after being loaned to France's second division in the 2022-2023 season. After joining Tsurvena, he played as the main defender for two consecutive seasons and showed good performance.
"We are delighted to have Nasser," Wolves Chairman Jeff Cy said on the BBC. This recruitment is a big investment for the club. Nasser is a player with great potential. I want to see him grow under the guidance of the coaching staff", he admitted to the transfer. General manager Matt Hobbs also said, `Central defense is an area we wanted to strengthen through the transfer market this winter. "I saw Nasser as a player who can strengthen his squad in the short term and in the long term," he said. "The back three have been consistently maintained since Vitor joined, but Nasser is a fast and aggressive type of defender."
