Paper Talk: Wolves to pull off incredible £105m transfer coup; Isco names Prem club he wants to join Wolves are tipped to beat Liverpool, Man Utd and a host of other European superpowers to a £105m-rated star, while Isco has set his sights on a move to the Premier League, according to Saturday’s newspapers. WOLVES TO BEAT LIVERPOOL, MAN UTD TO BENFICA SENSATION Wolves are leading the charge to sign Benfica playmaker Joao Felix – and will not be put off by the teenager’s incredible €120m (£105m) release clause. That’s according to The Sun, who claim Wolves sent scouts to check on the 19-year-old in midweek, ahead of a likely summer swoop. The paper claims representatives from Liverpool, Man Utd, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Fulham, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan, were also in attendance to watch a player tipped to become Portugal’s biggest star since Cristiano Ronaldo. While there is quite the interest in Felix, the paper reckons it is Wolves who have the upper hand, with the player represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes. Mendes has already brokered a number of impressive deals for Wolves with Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio heading to Molineux and link up with Portuguese boss Nuno Espirito Santo. And the paper reckons another Mendes-inspired transfer from Portugal to Wolves is on the cards, though tellingly, the paper does not say if Wolves will need to meet the player’s £105m exit clause, or whether a deal can be done for less than that.

WOLVES TO BEAT LIVERPOOL, MAN UTD TO BENFICA SENSATION

Wolves are leading the charge to sign Benfica playmaker Joao Felix – and will not be put off by the teenager’s incredible €120m (£105m) release clause.

That’s according to The Sun, who claim Wolves sent scouts to check on the 19-year-old in midweek, ahead of a likely summer swoop.

The paper claims representatives from Liverpool, Man Utd, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Fulham, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan, were also in attendance to watch a player tipped to become Portugal’s biggest star since Cristiano Ronaldo.

While there is quite the interest in Felix, the paper reckons it is Wolves who have the upper hand, with the player represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes.

Mendes has already brokered a number of impressive deals for Wolves with Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio heading to Molineux and link up with Portuguese boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

And the paper reckons another Mendes-inspired transfer from Portugal to Wolves is on the cards, though tellingly, the paper does not say if Wolves will need to meet the player’s £105m exit clause, or whether a deal can be done for less than that.
