Wolves are now in direct contact to sign a defender of 15 million pounds sterling “

Wolverhampton Wanderers have now had direct contact on an agreement for an “incredible” defender, who could be tempted by a moving to Molinine this summer, according to a report.

Summer rebuild necessary for Molinine

The departures of Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha left Vitor Pereira with work to do on the summer transfer market, but Steve Bull Think that his former club could be able to make major progress next season.

Bull said: “Pereira had to pick up the pieces last season in Gary O’Neil and he guided us towards security.

“I’m not sure he wants to do it this year. I think he wants to sell himself and do us at least in the upper half of the table this season.”

The realization of a higher finish after having lost Ait-Nouri and Cunha would be a major achievement for Pereira, which would be sure to attract the attention of certain high-level clubs, but a summer reconstruction will be necessary to make this objective a reality.

One of the main reasons why the old gold was drawn into a relegation battle last season was their very bad defensive file, shipping 69 goals in the Premier leagueThe largest number of clubs outside the relegation area.

As such, it is not surprising that the Wolves plan to bring a new central defender, and they now have Direct talks with Igor Julio de Brighton & Hove AlbionAccording to the Basque newspaper (via Sport Witness).

Indeed, the old gold called Igor for a potential move to Molinine, which could be of a great call, since the Pereira team is full of Brazilian and Portuguese players.

However, the Brazilian currently favors a move to Real Sociedad, because he wants to seal a distance from England this summer, and thinks that the Liga team could be a good choice.

Julio could be “incredible” to sign for wolves

The Wolves hope that the defender’s head can be turned, despite the interest of Sociedad, because he has considerably impressed for Brighton last season, being praised by the manager Fabian Hürzeler.

Hürzeler said: “He now played a good match against Newcastle. And I was not surprised by that because I see him each training session and he is an incredible professional player.

“He always wants to give the best. He always wants to be the best version of himself and it’s very impressive.”

The 27 -year -old, who signed for Brighton for 17 million euros (15 million pounds sterling) in 2023, also ranked in the 99th Centile for blocks by 90 in the past year, compared to other central defenders, and the 88th centile for its success rate.

Having proven itself in the Premier leagueIgor could be exactly the type of signature to help wolves start and put pressure for a higher finish, but the interest of Real Sociedad could pose a major problem.
