Wolves ‘particularly interested’ in signing – Boost for PL side as director says player will be sold in ‘two weeks’

Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on signing Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Nico Elvedi and this has been reported in Germany over the last few weeks.

Earlier this week, Kicker backed up the English club’s interest in the defender. Gladbach head of football Nils Schmadtke had admitted the door will not be closed, and the 26-year-old can leave.

Today’s Rheinische Post states Wolves are ‘particularly interested’ in signing the centre-back.

On Wednesday, the Premier League side appointed Gary O’Neil as their new manager, a day after parting ways with Julen Lopetegui. This didn’t seem to impact the club’s pursuit of Elvedi.

The Switzerland international’s deal expires in 2024 and he’s informed his employer about his desire to change clubs.

Gladbach managing director Roland Virkus believes the player won’t be at the club beyond this window. He has also admitted talks are ongoing to sell Elvedi.

“We are in talks with clubs. I can’t give a time window, but there will definitely be a decision in the next two weeks. I can’t rule out any scenario, but ultimately, I think there will be an agreement,” he told Rheinische Post.

After Schmadtke opened the door earlier, Virkus’ latest comments would come as a massive boost for Wolves in the chase for Elvedi.

Rheinische Post add Elvedi’s sale could help Gladbach to sign a new striker.
