# Wolves: Tim Spiers provides key Romain Saiss update

**Wolves are still hoping to keep hold of defender Romain Saiss this summer despite interest from other clubs, according to reliable journalist Tim Spiers.**

### The Lowdown: Saiss out of contract

The 32-year-old has been a brilliant servant for Wanderers over the years, making a total of [203 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/alletore/spieler/204198) and helping his side return to the Premier League.

Saiss has continued to be a key figure at the back for Wolves this season, [starting 28 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/236519/Show/Romain-Sa%C3%AFss) in the league and excelling on the left-hand side of a back-three.

The Moroccan is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/profil/spieler/204198) in the summer, however, meaning he can leave on a free transfer if he desires.

### The Latest: Spiers gives key update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1507411074563416072?s=20&t=qat5WxlEV3z0jOLRWc12GA) on Friday, Spiers claimed that it is still Wolves’ intention to offer Saiss a new deal:

> “Romain Saiss quoted in @lequipe on his contract situation: ‘I’m having a lot of fun in the Premier League but I’m not closing any doors. I will see the most interesting project here or elsewhere.’
>
> “Won’t be short of offers. Turned down a deal last year, Wolves looking to keep him.”

### The Verdict: No-brainer for Wanderers

Losing Saiss at this point would be a big blow for Wolves, with his experience and quality playing a vital role in them being such a tough team to break down this season, having [only conceded 26 goals](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in 30 league matches – Conor Coady has [described](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/wolves/wolves-conor-coady-praises-romain-saiss-and-leander-dendoncker-for-centre-back-displays/) his teammate as ‘fantastic’.

It makes complete sense for Wanderers to offer the defender an extension on his current contract, although he would have to accept that it wouldn’t be a long-term deal, given his age.

It could be that Saiss wants a fresh challenge, which Wolves fans would have to accept, but him staying put is the far more preferable outcome this summer.
