# Wolves: Journalist expects offers for Max Kilman this summer

**There are likely to be a number of clubs who eye up a move for Wolves centre-back Max Kilman this summer, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.**

### The Lowdown: Kilman a key figure at Wolves

The 24-year-old is enjoying an exceptional season for Wanderers, standing out as one of the first names on Bruno Lage’s team sheet at Molineux.

Kilman has shone on the right-hand side of a back-three, making [27 Premier League appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/368310/Show/Maximilian-Kilman) , playing [90 minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/368310/MatchStatistics/Maximilian-Kilman) in all but one game and finding himself [tipped](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10260499/Wolves-defender-Max-Kilman-England-boss-Gareth-Southgates-radar-impressing-season.html) to be named in Gareth Southgate’s next England squad.

The defender’s form could alert some of the country’s leading sides, however, so perhaps after all the attention on Ruben Neves’ future – [reports believe](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10575481/Barcelona-eye-swoop-Ruben-Neves-Wolves-playmaker-likely-leave-summer.html) talks are underway with Barcelona and the midfielder is ‘likely’ to depart – the Portuguese superstar may not be the only high-profile exit from Molineux this summer.

### The Latest: Journalist talks up exit

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/87980756-wolves-desperate-to-keep-hold-of-6-ft-4-beast-as-pl-rivals-circle), O’Rourke claimed that Kilman won’t be without suitors, as Wolves desperately look to stave off any interest in their emerging star:

> “Everything’s going well for Max Kilman at the minute, but Wolves will be desperate to keep hold of him.
>
> “But I’m sure there will be a few clubs looking in the summer, ready to test their resolve.”

### The Verdict: Got to stay

While Kilman is sure to be in the headlines this summer, as the rumour mills back him to move away, it would be a surprise if he left at this point in his career.

His current deal doesn’t [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-kilman/profil/spieler/525247) until the summer of 2026 and he is still very much maturing as a player, with 24 no age for a top centre-back in the slightest.

Granted, it may be that Kilman feels he needs to take a step up in his career in the future, but for now, Wolves is the best place for him to continue developing and playing week in, week out, having averaged [two aerial duel wins and 3.4 clearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/368310/Show/Maximilian-Kilman) per game in the league this season.
