Wolves are gunning to make Juanlu Sanchez their fourth summer signing, but one fresh claim about the full-back will have fans slightly nervous.
Wolves have just a few weeks to go until their opening game against Manchester City in the Premier League.
So far, Vitor Pereira has three new signings through the door but probably needs at least three more.
Earlier this week, a deal was completed for David Moller Wolfe to join from AZ Alkmaar, with Jorgen Strand Larsen playing a role in the move just as he did with Fer Lopez earlier this summer.
But Wolves need a player for the other side of the pitch, after Nelson Semedo officially confirmed his Wolves exit.
Juanlu Sanchez appears to be Wolves’ new top target.
It was claimed that Wolves and Sevilla have an agreement over Sanchez for the player to transfer for around £14.7 million.
But one new claim has now emerged that will concern some in the Molineux faithful.
Juanlu Sanchez could yet stay at Sevilla as Wolves seek to complete transfer
Wolves fans were left gutted recently when Atletico Madrid hijacked the Marc Pubill transfer.
Wolves had effectively signed Pubill, and it was just a case of getting him in the country and signing the contract.
But Atletico swooped, setting Wolves back in the transfer window.
There have been positive noises around Sanchez, but one outlet has claimed that he could yet stay at Sevilla this summer.
ABC Sevilla report that Sanchez will make a decision on his future with his family at the start of this coming week.
It’s claimed, though, that the player’s entourage have not actually ruled out him staying at Sevilla.
Wolves need decision from Sanchez immediately
This claim is bound to have some Wolves fans fearing that history could repeat itself.
As in, Wolves could be very close to signing a right-back having reached an agreement with his club, only for the deal to collapse.
From ABC Sevilla’s claim, it sounds like there is still a chance he could stay put – and Wolves need to determine where Sanchez’s head is at.
Time is obviously of the essence now for Wolves, and there cannot be any repeat of the Pubill deal.
If there is any hint of Sanchez wanting to stay put, then Wanderers officials should abandon the pursuit and move on to the next target,
