Regardless of whether Ruben Neves leaves Wolverhampton Wanderers or not in January, Julen Lopetegui wants a new midfielder at Molineux.
The Spaniard is trying to get a squad together he feels will be good enough to turn around matters at Wolves, and the arrival of Mario Lemina is something he wants to achieve.
The interest isn’t new, and the player already knows the Premier League from his time at Southampton in the past, so this makes sense.
The player is said to have a ‘concrete approach’ from Lopetegui’s side, before the website adds that the Premier League side could go ‘up to €10m’ to try and convince OGC Nice to sell.
Whether the Ligue 1 side agrees or not should come down to whether Didier Digard wants to use him, as the interim manager is now in charge following the French club’s decision to part ways with Lucien Favre earlier this week.
