Marshall Munetsi has made his stance on Wolves clear, he is not spending much time worrying about his own future. The midfielder said his priority is helping the club rebuild around a return to the Premier League, and his line on staying was simple enough: as long as Wolves want him there, he is happy to remain.

Munetsi's message on his future

Speaking to the BBC, Marshall Munetsi said: "At the moment, with the conversations I've had with the club and the management, they want to build a team. I think the priority for me is to make sure that I also help the team. As long as they want me to be here, I'm also happy to be here."

He was just as direct about the bigger picture. "Above all, what is most important right now is to make sure that the club gets back to the Premier League," Munetsi said. "No matter who comes in, no matter who stays, that is the most important message that has come from the chairman [Nathan Shi] - that the club is to go back."

That is a sensible position from a player whose first season has already been disrupted. Munetsi joined Wolves from Reims in February 2025 for £16m on a three-and-a-half year deal. He made 12 starts under Vitor Pereira before starting just once under Rob Edwards, then spent the second half of last term on loan at Paris FC.

He still found output there, scoring four goals in 15 Ligue 1 matches for Paris FC. It is not the sort of spell that settles every question, but it does show he can contribute even when the situation is not straightforward.

Wolves and the Championship reset

Munetsi also said Wolves are facing a return to the Championship for the first time in nine seasons. That is the real backdrop to his comments. For him, this is not the moment to turn the conversation toward his own exit or a bigger move elsewhere, it is a moment to steady a club that needs to get back up.

The line from Munetsi matches the broader mood around the club better than any transfer speculation would. He has seen one run of starts under Pereira, then a sharp drop under Rob Edwards, and his loan at Paris FC only underlined how unsettled the last year has been.

What comes next is more practical than dramatic. Wolves want a promotion push, Munetsi says he is happy to be part of it, and the club's next challenge is to make that return to the Premier League a reality.
