On Friday, RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins stated Wolverhampton Wanderers had reached an agreement in principle with Bastien Meupiyou. He also stated their initial bid was turned down by FC Nantes.
Wolves have made progress in their pursuit of the 18-year-old, according to claims from France.
L’Equipe now state Wolves have reached an agreement with the Ligue 1 side to sign the defender for €5m excluding bonuses, plus a percent of a future sale.
The centre-back has made one appearance for the senior team and has less than a year left on his deal. His refusal to sign an extension has convinced the French club to sell him this summer.
Over at Ouest-France, they say Nantes had earlier rejected two offers from Wolves for the youngster.
Gary O’Neil’s side haven’t given. up and returned with a ‘new offer’ on Wednesday. Their proposal is around €5m in fixed fee plus bonuses and a percentage of a future sale, and this was accepted by the Ligue 1 side.
Earlier claims stated Meupiyou has a deal in place with Wolves. He should soon complete a move to Molineux, after the Premier League side reached an agreement with Nantes.
