Wolves, Old Gold, Julen Lopetegui, Molineux, Premier League, Isco
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui wants to sign former Real Madrid star Isco and he’s even tempted to join the Premier League outfit, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Wolves battling relegation…
The Old Gold are staring down the barrel of potential relegation from the English top flight and are in serious need of attacking reinforcements.
Scoring fewer goals than any other team in the division, Lopetegui’s side appear to be taking action behind the scenes, having reportedly sealed a deal for Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha.
It’s believed that Fosun International are prepared to back their new manager in January with more new signings as the Molineux side target as many as six fresh faces.
The Latest: Lopetegui eyeing Isco…
According to reports from Spain, there is a ‘call’ from Lopetegui to sign Isco for Wolves as he becomes a free agent.
The 30-year-old has left Sevilla after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract, making him readily available on a Bosman to interested clubs.
Wolves are apparently one of those, and if they press ahead, this report claims that Isco’s ‘temptation’ to reunite with Lopetegui is ‘great’.
The Verdict: Make the move?
The Spaniard’s time at Sevilla was certainly one to forget, and the once-£88m valued midfielder will have a point to prove if Lopetegui seals a deal for him.
Once called ‘magic‘ by former Spurs and Paris-Saint Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino, Isco’s status as a free agent means that Wolves could sign him with little financial hassle.
The question remains, though – would he be worth the wage demands, and could he seriously strengthen Lopetegui’s bid to avoid the drop?
