Wolves officially interested in giant French defender
Wolves have reportedly made an offer of 15 million euros to sign Stade de Reims defender Axel Disasi according to L’equipe.
The 6ft3 central defender has been watched by numerous clubs and is attracting interest from a lot of elite clubs in Europe. The defender is extremely highly rated in France.
The 22-year-old’s contract expires in the summer of 2021 and Express and Star Wolves correspondent Joe Edwards later today confirmed that Wolves are interested in Axel Disasi but it’s thought that there has been no bid made from the club – however they are keeping extremely close tabs on him.
Disasi has been solid at Reims and has helped the club to the best defensive record in Ligue 1 – conceding just 21 goals in 28 games before the coronavirus pandemic prematurely ended the season.
Reims president Jean-Pierre Calliot has recently said that the Premier League is the most likely destination for Disasi.
Fosun target Chinese forward
Wolves are reportedly in talks to sign Espanyol forward Wu Lei. Negotiations between Wolves and the Chinese international are said to be underway as Wolves hope to bolster their front line according to Marca.
Wu Lei played against Wolves in both legs of the Europa League Round of 32 when Wolves beat Espanyol 6-3 on aggregate. Despite the scoreline, Wu Lei did look a sharp player and was arguably Espanyol’s standout player in the first leg at Molineux.
Fosun are desperate to land a marquee Chinese signing and Wu Lei ticks all the boxes in that regard. Wu Lei could be a great fit for Wolves as he can play across the front three and would more than likely not be too fussed about being a backup for Raul Jimenez.
The Chineseman has struggled for goals in Spain but was prolific in front of goal for Shangai SIPG.
Wolves linked with legendary defender
Wolves are reportedly looking into the prospect of making a contract offer for PSG captain Thiago Silva.
The 35-year-old will leave the Parisians on a free this summer & Wolves are among a number of Premier League clubs interested in defender’s signature according to 90min.
Silva is reportedly on over £200,000 p/w at PSG and would have to take a drastic pay cut to if he were to join Wolves. The Brazilian defender has still been a top performer for the Parisians this season despite his age.
Thiago Silva has played 36 times this season in all competitions and is one of Brazil’s most capped players with 89 caps.
Bringing in a player of Silva’s experience and calibre would be a huge coup for Wolves but it remains to be seen if the deal works financially for both parties. We suspect it won’t.
Gueye brushes off transfer rumours
Reported Wolves target Idrissa Gana Gueye has brushed off transfer rumours linking him with a move back to England.
The Senegalese midfielder told Emedia : “I’m used to these rumours. For each transfer window, it’s like that for me. Even in January, six months after I arrived at PSG, I was already linked to Chelsea, so I’m used to it.”
However, question marks still surround Gueye’s future as more and more rumours surface each day.

Wolves Transfer Rumours – June 9
Wolves in talks with Aston Villa goalkeeper
Wolverhampton Wanderers in are in talks with Aston Villa goalkeeper Matija Sarkic over a permanent deal.
The 6ft5 stopper is out of contract at the end of the season and has decided that he will be leaving Villa at the end of the season. With Sarkic being out of contract at the end of the season, Wolves wouldn’t have to pay any compensation to Aston Villa for the transfer.
The 22-year-old hasn’t played a senior appearance for Aston Villa but did impress on loan at Livingston.
Matija Sakric has played for the Montenegro national team on one occasion. Sarkic was born in Grimsby but his father is Montenegrin.
The news was broken by Talking Wolves this morning and has since been confirmed by the Express and Star.
Wolves would sign the goalkeeper with the view of loaning him out to gain more first-team experience. Sarkic does have other offers from clubs but it’s thought Wolves are his preferred option and wouldn’t have to relocate. It’s thought a deal for the keeper could be wrapped up in the coming weeks.
Wolves target could be on his way to England
Reported Wolves target Rodrigo Fernandes is no longer training with the Sporting first-team squad, and is staying in shape with the work of a personal trainer according to A Bola.
It is said that there is a ‘good possibility’ of the 19-year-old moving to England. Talking Wolves had previously reported that Fernandes could be joining Wolves for a fee believed to be between €10-12 million.
Wolves interested in Boateng
Wolves have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Boateng this summer.
The 22-year-old currently plays for Israeli club Hapoel Tel Aviv and it is said that Wolves would buy Boateng and loan him out due to work permit issues according to Kickgh.
Boateng has attracted interest from all around Europe. Wolves’ Senior Recruitment Lead Ben Wigglesworth is said to have recommended Emmanuel Boateng to the club.
Loiodice to return to France
Wolves will not be taking up the option to sign on-loan midfielder Enzo Loiodice at the end of the season. The France U20 international will return to his parent club Dijon.
Wolves did have the option to make Loiodice’s loan move a permanent transfer but aren’t taking Dijon up on the offer after the midfielder failed to make a first-team appearance at Molineux.
Wolves Transfer Rumours – June 7
Wolves linked with former Everton star
Reports coming out of France are linking Idrissa Gana Gueye with a return the Premier League and Wolves are amongst the favourites to land the midfielder.
LE10Sport report that former Everton man Gueye could be on his way out of PSG along with Ander Herrera and Julian Draxler. It’s rumoured that two English clubs, including Wolves, have ‘proposed’ a move for the Senegalese midfielder who has featured consistently for the Parisian outfit this season.
Idrissa Gana Gueye was a key player during his time at Goodison Park and would be a real coup for Wolves. It’s not yet clear how much the 30-year-old would cost Wolves but it’s likely PSG would like to recoup as much of the £30 million they spent on the midfielder.
Mourinho keen on Neves deal
Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Ruben Neves this summer according to French news outlet LE10Sport.
The 23-year-old has played 125 times for Wolves, scoring 15 goals, and it’s said that Neves is a player that ‘appeals’ to Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.
It’s understood that Wolves won’t let Ruben Neves go this summer and it would take a substantial bid to prise him away from Molineux. The Portuguese midfielder has recently stated how much he is enjoying life in Wolverhampton and that the risky switch from Porto to Wolves has paid off.
Tottenham recently secured a £175m loan from the Bank of England to help them during the coronavirus crisis so it’s unlikely they’ll be able to stump up the cash required to sign Ruben Neves.
Rugani links resurface again
Wolves have reportedly renewed their interest in Juventus defender Daniele Rugani according to Tuttosport.
Rugani was previously linked with Wolves last summer and with the 25-year-old struggling for first-team football in Italy, a move away seems likely.
Wolves had previously shown an interest in Rugani with defensive reinforcements a real priority for Nuno. It’s believed that Arsenal are eyeing up a move for Rugani too with David Luiz set to leave the club at the end of the season.
Juventus are short of cash, along with a lot of other Italian clubs so it is thought that Rugani will leave in the next transfer window and could even be a part of a swap deal. With Juventus being constantly linked with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez, it wouldn’t surprise us if Rugani is touted by the press as part of that deal in the future.
Liverpool enquire about possible Adama transfer
Liverpool have reportedly enquired about Wolves winger Adama Traore according to the Mirror.
The Spaniard has been in great form this season for Wolves but Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has previously made no secret of his admiration for Adama, labelling him “unplayable”.
Wolves had reportedly slapped a £75 million price tag on the winger and it’s not thought the price tag was set to ward off any potential suitors for Adama who has arguably been Wolves’ most influential player this season.
Wolves are very well aware in the interest of players such as Ruben Neves, Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota but as previously stated by Talking Wolves, the club is adamant that no player is for sale and they would rather build off the very sturdy foundations that have already been laid out.
