Fabrizio Romano drops major Wolves 'next few hours' transfer update as club close in on £13m bargain deal

Wolves have seen the likes of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri head out the exit door this summer. The pair have left for Manchester United and Manchester City respectively. They have left voids to fill in Vitor Pereira’s squad.

The Midlands outfit turned to the former FC Porto man during last season to replace Gary O’Neil when they were struggling for results. He has since made a positive impression at Molineux and kept his side up comfortably in the end. Pereira is now gearing up for his first full campaign at the helm and is in the hunt for some signings.

Fabrizio Romano drops Wolves transfer update

According to reporter Fabrizio Romano on X, Wolves have offered £13million for Almeria defender Marc Pubill and hope to get a deal down in the ‘next few hours’. They are keen to snap up the right-back as soon as they can. If he joined, he would give them another option to pick from at the back.

Journalist Romano has posted on social media: “Understand Wolves have offered €15m plus add-ons and sell-on clause for Marc Pubill. #WWFC hope to get the deal done in the next hours to anticipate other clubs.”

Pubill, 22, has caught the eye playing for Almeria over the last two years. He joined them back in 2023 and has since become one of their most prized assets. They now face a real battle to keep hold of him in this window amid attention from elsewhere.

The full-back is under contract with his current club until 2029 meaning he still has four years left to run down on his deal. He has made 63 appearaces for them in all competitions to date. He has chipped in with two goals and an impressive eight assists along the way.

Who is Wolves target Marc Pubill?

Pubill started his career with spells as a youngster at CE Menrasa, Espanyol, Gimnastic Manresa and Levante. He initially broke into the latter’s B team before making the step up into the senior picture. The Terrassa-born man went on to play 39 matches as a teenager during his time at Ciutat de València.

Almeria then lured him to La Liga on a whopping six-year deal but they were relegated in his first year. They then missed out on an immediate return to the top flight last term. The Andalusian team finished 6th in the table and fell short in the end. Wolves could see Pubill as someone to boost their defensive department. He is young, has already played a decent amount of matches and has potential to get better in the future. If the transfer is completed, he would step into the shoes of Nelson Semedo.

Pereira has recently shared this pre-season update: “We are working, trying to pass the message to the players. We are working with a lot of young players, and it’s important that they understand what we ask them to do. Good training, intensity, of course a bit tired, but I'm happy with the work.”
