Report: Nuno looking to sign 25-yr-old defender, Wolves leading the race for his signature
Wolves are keen on signing the Juventus defender Daniele Rugani this summer. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could use defensive reinforcements and Rugani would be a good addition. The young defender is not a key starter at Juventus and a move to Wolves could allow him to play more often. Wolves need to tighten up at the back if they want to play Champions League football. Rugani could form a good partnership with Coady and Boly at the back next season. The 25-year-old player is highly rated in Italy and someone like Nuno could bring out the best in him. The Wolves boss has done well to develop the young players at his disposal and he could help Rugani achieve his potential as well. Apparently, Juventus are considering the possibility of a sale and Wolves are currently leading the race to sign ...
Leicester and Wolves join the race to sign 22-yr-old defender from European giants
Leicester and Wolves are keen on signing the Juventus defender Merih Demiral this summer. As per Nicolo Schira, the Italian giants have no intention of selling the talented defender and they have recently turned down an offer of around €30m plus add-ons for the player. With the likes of Chiellini and Bonucci in their 30s, Juventus will need someone to partner De Ligt at the heart of their defence for the next decade. Demiral could be that player for them. The 22-year-old Turkish defender is a massive talent and he has a big future ahead of him. It will be interesting to see if Leicester or Wolves make their move for the player. However, a transfer seems unlikely. Juventus are under no pressure to sell and the player is highly unlikely to demand a move to Wolves/Leicester. That said, b...

The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to Everton for a while now and it appears that Jorge Mendes wants to take him to Wolves according to RAI Sport journalist Ciro Venerato (via Sportwitness).

Nuno’s side could use someone like Allan and they have the resources to sign the player as well. Furthermore, Wolves could be able to provide Allan with European football next season. Everton do not ha...
‘Absolutely stunning’ – Gary Lineker in awe of Raul Jimenez’s goal for Wolves today
Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League.

Raul Jimenez had given Nuno’s team the lead on the 76th minute but Burnley fought back with their stoppage-time penalty. Chris Wood converted from the spot on the 96th minute for Sean Dyche’s side.

Absolutely stunning goal from @Raul_Jimenez9. A @BBCOne kind of goal. 👏🏻👏🏻 — Gary Lineker ...
5 goals in 10 starts this season: Wolves linked with a move for highly talented 21-yr-old
Wolves are thought to be keen on the AC Milan forward Rafael Leao this summer. According to Tuttosport (via Sportwitness), the player has not been a regular starter at the club since the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks. Leao is a highly rated player and he has a big future ahead of him. Milan would be foolish to let him leave right now. He could be a star for them in the long run. The youngster has shown great form since the r...
