Wolves would consider selling Max Kilman for upwards of £30 million this summer.
That is according to the Express & Star, with Kilman thought to be someone the club could offload to ease concerns over FFP.
Kilman has just finished a season in which he played a lot of football.
The 26-year-old was practically ever-present for Wanderers in 2022/23, playing 41 games out of a possible 44.
Kilman arguably didn’t reach the heights he did in 2021/22, when he wowed playing mostly on the right of a back three under Bruno Lage.
But statistically he actually fared quite well, and he was ultimately named 47th on a list of top 50 Premier League players by American statistics company PFF.
But Kilman’s future is a little bit up in the air now, due to Wolves’ concerns about FFP.
Wolves would entertain Max Kilman sale for £30 million
According to the Express & Star, Wolves would consider selling Kilman if bids north of £30 million came in.
The club don’t particularly want to sell the Englishman.
But they know he’s a saleable asset, and someone who could very well alleviate the current financial pressure.
Kilman has a lot going for him.
He’s English, left-footed, really good on the ball and versatile. He’s also still a few years away from his peak and could get a lot better.
So he is likely going to appeal to several clubs this summer, and the asking price is definitely fair.
£30 million at least for Max Kilman is a fair stance from Wolves
Kilman may not be capped at international level just yet, but an asking price of at least £30 million seems very reasonable for today’s market.
His ability to play in a back three or a back four makes him very desirable.
We didn’t see it as much last season due to the system change at Wolves, but Kilman is also very good at carrying the ball out of defence, which is a trait that is not all that common in centre-backs today.
Who can forget that incredible solo goal he scored last pre-season against Deportivo Alaves?
From a technical standpoint, Kilman is excellent.
He just needs to become more dominant to reach the next level as a centre-back. That was something Steve Davis felt, although the former interim manager did also say that Kilman had ‘high quality on the technical side’, and had ‘become a really good athlete’.
But £30 million is a more than fair asking price to potential suitors this summer.
