Wolverhampton Wanderers may be given an opportunity to resurrect their interest in forward Boulaye Dia in January as Salernitana are willing to listen to offers for him.
That’s according to Il Mattino, relayed by Calciomercato, who say a move in the winter window ‘cannot be ruled out’ at this moment in time.
Wolves were keen on Dia at the end of the summer transfer window, making a bid for him in the final few days and on deadline day in a late effort to bolster Gary O’Neill’s squad.
Their proposal was rejected by Salernitana, who were not interested in what was offered and even later publicly derided the offer that had been made by Wolves.
He’s since returned as is establishing himself as a key player once again but Il Mattino say a farewell in the January transfer window cannot be ruled out.
According to them if the club were to receive a ‘convincing offer’ they would be more than happy to sell, although what figure they would consider as convincing isn’t mentioned.
In the meantime, Torino’s president is in talks with the player and his agent to discuss potential changes to his contract and perhaps the re-inclusion of a €25m release clause that expired in the summer.
That would then, presumably, be the figure everyone is looking at and it’s debatable whether Wolves would be able to afford such a figure given their difficult financial situation at present.
Nonetheless it seems the opportunity may be there if they want to explore it, although O’Neill’s ability to get his forwards firing may mean a striker is no longer considered a priority target for the club.
