# Wolves: Wanderers not close to agreeing Sasa Kalajdzic fee

**According to talkSPORT reporter [Alex Crook](https://twitter.com/alex_crook), [Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are ‘not close’ to agreeing a fee for Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic, despite reports in recent days claiming the opposite.**

### The Lowdown: Wolves open negotiations

Bruno Lage is in the market for attacking reinforcements after news emerged that [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) rivals Arsenal are [seeking a move](https://theathletic.com/3527891/2022/08/23/pedro-neto-arsenal-wolves-transfer/) for Pedro Neto, and the boss has seemingly identified the 25-year-old as his prime target.

The Austrian has been on the receiving end of [interest](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11134951/Wolves-agree-personal-terms-Stuttgart-striker-Sasa-Kalajdzic.html) from the likes of Manchester United, Everton and Brighton this summer, though it’s the Midlands outfit who have made the first move.

Recent sources have [claimed](https://theathletic.com/3527815/2022/08/22/sasa-kalajdzic-wolves-stuttgart-transfer/?source=emp_shared_article) that the Molineux side have opened negotiations to sign the forward, but while [some have even claimed a deal is close](https://twitter.com/Ekremkonur/status/1561722333718528000), Crook’s update is not the news supporters are hoping to hear.

### The Latest: Wolves dealt Kalajdzic setback

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/alex_crook/status/1561722530687291393?s=21&t=odmdwsaPcEhOEscBfezC6w), Crook revealed that whilst Wolves are indeed in talks for Kalajdzic, the two parties are still miles apart in price. He wrote:

*“Re Sasa Kalajdzic: Wolves are in talks with Stuttgart as reported but told the two clubs are not close in terms of the valuation of the striker.”*

### The Verdict: Splash the cash

Wolves have already spent over [£100m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/transfers/verein/543) this window following the arrival of Matheus Nunes, but Kalajdzic is a player worth splashing the cash on, even if the club don’t agree with his asking price.

The [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/369567)-cap international made [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/leistungsdaten/spieler/369567/plus/0?saison=2021) goal contributions in just 15 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart last season, and has already provided [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/leistungsdaten/spieler/369567/plus/0?saison=2022) assists in the same number of games this term, highlighting the instant impact he can make.

\[freshpress-poll id=”407217″\]

Standing at 6 foot 7, Kalajdzic would add a different dimension to Lage’s squad in the final third, and while his [injury record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/verletzungen/spieler/369567) may be a concern, rotating his minutes with Raul Jimenez could keep both players fit and firing.
