Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly close to signing the Southampton star Mario Lemina.
The information comes from the French media, where Soccer Link say the clubs are getting to the ‘final stage’ of negotiations.
Lemina would be joining Wolves on a loan deal, with Nuno Espírito Santo’s side paying £1m to have him for next season.
In case the player does well, then Wolves would have the chance to make the move permanent, and the agreement includes a buying option of £19m.
This sounds a little weird, because if it’s an option, and not an obligatory clause, Wolves could use it the way they want it to. Unless the option is mandatory, and that hasn’t been mentioned.
