Wolves interested in signing Chelsea man – Player wants ‘clarity’ over future, face competition from three clubs

Wolverhampton Wanderers are now reportedly one of the clubs in the race for Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu.

The news comes from Italy, where La Nazione today features a report about the interest from Serie A clubs in the player.

Their report points out that Empoli, Spezia and Cremonese have all been attentive to the 21-year-old, and then adds Wolves to the battle as well.

The club that seem to have advanced talks for the transfer are Empoli. However, there’s something that plays against them, which is the fact they are currently negotiating with Chelsea a loan with no option to make the move permanent.

La Nazione writes that Ampadu, who already spent the last season on a loan, wants more ‘clarity’ over his future, and would rather join a club who’d buy him outright.

The story doesn’t make it clear if that would be Wolves’ intention, but in case it is, then that’d be a good chance for the Molineux side to win the race for the 21-year-old, who has a contract with Chelsea running until 2024.
