Maximilian Kilman, the captain of Wolverhampton Wanderers, has a high price tag attached to him since Premier League opponent West Ham United is showing interest.
Although they acknowledge that every player has a price on the transfer market, the Old Gold are committed to holding onto their star defender.
This is especially true given the present situation, when a number of teams are finding it difficult to abide by the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Teams are required to lose no more than £105 million in a three-year period, so any large sales may alleviate any worries greatly.As West Ham targets an ambitious summer move, Wolves’set out’ expectations.
One of the teams most impacted is Wolves, since Gary O’Neil has had almost little money to work with in the previous two transfer windows. The head coach of Wanderers was anxious to add a striker in January because of the problems presented by the aging roster, but Wolves could not afford to overpay.
West Ham is eager to entice the Old Gold into a big summer move, knowing that it could be too good to refuse the opportunity to add enormous sums of money to the transfer budget. The Daily Mail claims that because Kilman is so highly regarded by incoming head coach Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers may launch an official bid for him.
Wolves want a premium price, but Lopetegui desires a reunion
But given that Wolves values Kilman at about £45 million, their expectations could be too high. West Ham’s willingness to spend that much is still to be determined, but Lopetegui has already given the go-ahead.
Kilman was named captain for the first time by the Spaniard, who oversaw Wolves from November 2022 until May 2023. The two had a fantastic few months that saw them leap out of the relegation zone and reach 41 points, which was an incredible feat considering how low Wanderers had been previously.
