Wolves are ‘strongly pursuing’ Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez, who has strong interest from Serie A giants Napoli, and are ‘set to submit’ an offer
With only one month remaining in the current transfer window, the Molineux club is thin in several positions. Even though they addressed their attacking concerns with the signings of Jhon Arias and Fer Lopez, they have failed to strengthen their backline.
The exits of Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait-Nouri have been significant blows to them, and they are now scrambling to find replacements. David Moller Wolfe of AZ Alkmaar is expected to replace Ait-Nouri after the clubs reached an agreement to sign the left-back.
Vitor Pereira considered several right-back options, including Marc Pubill, who joined Atletico Madrid and left Wolves’very dissatisfied’. Former West Ham United defender Vladimir Coufal, who is a free agent, has also been considered, but they are now looking for a long-term solution.

Juanlu Sanchez’s last season
According to Italian journalist Orazio Accomando, Wolves are actively pursuing Sevilla’s 21-year-old right-back Sanchez.
The Molineux club is preparing to make a €17 million bid for the Spain Under-23 international, who is being courted by Italian champions Napoli.
Gli Azzurri have reached a preliminary agreement with the La Liga club, but the deal has yet to be finalized, leaving the situation uncertain. The 21-year-old full-back has made 74 senior games and signed a contract extension in April that will take him until the summer of 2029. He is an attacking right-back who can also play as a winger or in central midfield if necessary. It remains to be seen when the Molineux club will make a bid for the highly rated Spaniard and whether they will be able to beat Napoli to his signature in the coming days and weeks.
