Wolverhampton Wanderers have left out Super Eagles forward Tolu Arokodare from their pre-season training squad, as rumors regarding his future continue to grow.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano indicated that the Nigerian striker was not part of Wolves' roster for the beginning of pre-season activities, further amplifying speculation that he may depart Molineux this summer.
Romano noted that Serie A club Fiorentina remains actively interested in the 25-year-old, despite their initial offer being turned down by Wolves.
Discussions between the two clubs are still in progress, with the Italian side optimistic about reaching a resolution soon.

Turkish Super Lig team Trabzonspor is also keeping a close watch on the situation, but Arokodare is said to prefer a transfer to one of Europe's top-five leagues and is not keen on a move to Turkey.
Arokodare is currently contracted with Wolves until 2029, with the club having the option to extend his contract for an additional year.
Consequently, Wolves are not under any urgent obligation to sell and are anticipated to seek a substantial transfer fee before allowing his exit.
Fiorentina reportedly considers the Nigerian as a vital addition to enhance their attacking capabilities ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign, while negotiations among all parties are ongoing.
