Wolves intend to buy player – Advantage for Nuno’s side as competitor unwilling to meet asking price

For the past week or so, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ interest in signing Gonçalo Guedes has been frequently discussed by the Spanish press.

Sevilla are also interested and Estadio Deportivo reported on Wednesday they ‘want to sneak into’ Wolves’ effort to sign the Valencia player.

Thursday’s edition of AS once again reiterates Nuno Esprito Santo’s side intend to buy the 26-year-old.

Regarding Sevilla, it’s stated Julen Lopetegui has given his approval to sign the ex-PSG man.

The two clubs have taken the first step in the negotiations of the forward’s transfer. The Portugal international is ‘interesting’ for Sevilla, but they are looking at a ‘low cost’ deal. The La Liga side in ‘no case’ want to offer more than €20m, including bonuses.

Los Ches agreed to pay €40m to Paris Saint-Germain for Guedes and are aware it’s difficult to recover the same figure from his sale in the summer. Therefore, they will ‘settle for slightly more than €20m’, which is the figure that remains to be amortised.

AS also stress Guedes’ asking price could ‘clearly rise’ if the Valencia attacker represents Portugal at Euro 2020.

Over at Plaza Deportiva, it’s stated Sevilla sporting director Monchi is hoping to lower the asking price by including Rony Lopes and Oussama Idrissi as a part of the operation.

This may not be enough to convince Guedes’ agent, Jorge Mendes [as it lowers his commission]. The report further adds the player’s ‘most probable future’ could be in the Premier League where Wolves are interested to acquire his services.
