On Tuesday, SER Girona Sport journalist Nil Solà reported Wolverhampton Wanderers and Girona are negotiating a deal for Santiago Bueno.
This is backed up by today’s Sport, who add the deal to take the defender to Wolves is well on track and ‘it would be a surprise’ if the operation isn’t closed in the next few days.
It’s said the centre-back has received an offer from Wolves and the La Liga side are in favour of sanctioning a move as it will help them sign a new midfielder and a forward.
The 24-year-old, who made 36 appearances last season, is one of the ‘most important assets’ of Girona.
Therefore, the Uruguay international’s exit would be a huge loss from the sporting point of view but the offer from Wolves is ‘more than tempting’ for both him and Girona.
The report makes no mention of the fee proposed by Wolves but says it’ll be a club-record sale for Girona, exceeding the €10m fee paid by Real Sociedad for Portu in 2019.
Sport state Girona ‘finalise the transfer’ of Bueno to Wolves and it would be a surprise if the operation doesn’t go through before the window closes on Friday.
