Wolves midfielder Marshall Munetsi is being linked with a move to Ligue 1 side Lyon, with the Zimbabwe international reportedly attracting interest despite uncertainty over his long-term future in England.
The 29-year-old central midfielder, valued at €12.00m, is the subject of transfer speculation suggesting Lyon are exploring the possibility of bringing him back to French football. Data from Transfermarkt lists the probability of the move only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at a very early and unclear stage. With no contract end date publicly recorded at Wolves, observers have also raised the theoretical prospect that Munetsi’s situation could yet develop towards a free-agency scenario if no agreement is in place.
Munetsi joined Wolves from Stade Reims, returning to the club game in England after establishing himself in Ligue 1. His current listing with Wolverhampton Wanderers gives him the number 5 shirt and notes him as a right-footed central midfielder. There are no recent match details, opponents or scorelines provided in the available data, so his form at Molineux cannot be gauged from these records.
Before his Premier League spell, Munetsi built his reputation in France with Reims following moves within South African football at Ubuntu Cape Town FC, Baroka FC and Orlando Pirates, having started out at Blue Rangers FC in Zimbabwe. His market value has climbed steadily over the years, rising from €25,000 at Ubuntu Cape Town to a peak of €15m at Wolves in 2025 before its latest assessment at €12m.
Born in Harare on 22 June 1996 and standing at 1.88m, Munetsi offers a physical presence in midfield and has represented Zimbabwe at international level. A switch to Lyon, if it materialises, would take him back to a league he knows well and could mark a significant next step in a career that has already spanned Zimbabwe, South Africa, France and now England, potentially reshaping his reputation on the European stage.
