Wolves are just over a week away from the new Premier League season – and Napoli are still looking to poach Max Kilman.
Several players have already left Molineux this summer.
Fans are now desperate to see some incomings, with only Tom King and Matt Doherty having come in on frees so far.
But it would seem that there is still for potential for more players to go.
And one player who just continues to be written about is Kilman.
Napoli have had him on their radar for a while now, and see him as a replacement for Kim Min-jae, who joined Bayern Munich.
But they are now said to be planning an offer which is just laughable if true.
Napoli want Max Kilman on loan with obligation to buy from Wolves
Kilman remains high on Napoli’s list.
But there are apparently planning to try an audacious negotiation with Wolves.
Il Mattino are audaciously reporting today that the Serie A champions are looking to sign Kilman on loan with an obligation to buy.
The obligation to buy would apparently be worth just £26 million.
It is further stated that Kilman’s representatives would ask for a signing bonus, but that Napoli don’t have the finances to offer one.
Napoli are also interested in Konstantinos Mavropanos at the moment.
Ironically he is a player Wolves have also reportedly been looking at.
Laughable if true
If this really is a genuine plan from Napoli then it is ridiculous.
There is no way that Wolves would sanction this given their current financial problems and lack of depth.
Kilman is a crucial player for Wolves and has actually now assumed the captain’s armband, which has not yet been officially announced by the club.
Wolves letting Kilman leave on loan would be a truly bizarre move. It simply does nothing for the club. If Kilman is going to go, Wolves need cash now. And a lot of it.
Wolves have previously been reported to value Kilman at £35 million, with Napoli having reportedly already failed with £30 million bid.
So something really isn’t adding up.
