Wolves have announced the loan signing of Jordan James from Rennes, including an option to buy set at £10m. The club confirmed the deal on Wednesday night.

As relayed by Ben Jacobs, the club’s announcement sets out a temporary move from Rennes with an option to make it permanent. The report adds that the arrangement is now official.

An option to buy gives Wolves the right to complete a permanent transfer at a pre-agreed price but does not oblige them to do so.

Unlike an obligation clause, the option means any decision over a full transfer rests with the club and would be exercised only if they choose.

The structure offers Wolves flexibility while providing Rennes clarity over a potential future sale at a fixed valuation.

Any decision on activating the clause will come later and would hinge on Wolves’ evaluation of the player during the loan period.

No further terms, such as the loan’s length, potential add-ons or registration timings, were disclosed in the announcement.
