Wolves and Venezia Chase Torino Forward
Scotland international Che Adams is reportedly tempted by a return to England, with Wolverhampton Wanderers emerging as a possible destination despite interest from newly-promoted Serie A side Venezia. According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Adams is keen on heading back to the UK after two seasons at Torino, and Wolves could provide an enticing option.
The 29-year-old striker, currently preparing for Scotland's World Cup clash with Morocco, has one year left on his contract with Torino. Venezia have already tabled a bid in the region of €4–5 million, but Torino turned it down, while Wolves have yet to submit a formal offer.
Adams' Serie A Journey Nears Crossroads
Adams moved to Torino on a free transfer from Southampton in 2024 and has been a consistent presence in attack. He scored nine goals in 36 appearances in his first Serie A season and added six in 33 outings during the 2025–26 campaign. Though not prolific, his work rate and versatility have made him a valuable asset for the Granata.
However, with Torino likely to demand a higher fee—especially given Venezia's initial offer was rejected—Adams may push for a move. Wolves, relegated to the EFL Championship for 2026–27, are seeking reinforcements and could offer the Scot a prominent role as they chase immediate promotion back to the Premier League.
Competing Priorities
Venezia, fresh from winning Serie B, are ambitious to establish themselves in the top flight and see Adams as an experienced addition. Yet reports indicate the player's heart is set on a British return. "Venezia are not willing to throw in the towel yet," notes Tuttomercatoweb, suggesting the race is far from over.
For now, Adams' focus remains on the World Cup, where Scotland aim to progress from a group that also includes Morocco, before any transfer saga reaches a conclusion later this summer.
