Wolves are expected to make a major offer for Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile, who has also been on Manchester United’s radar this summer.
A product of the Monaco academy, the young centre-back enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2018/19 and made 29 appearances for the Ligue 1 giants in all competitions.
The 18-year-old defender’s performances have piqued the interest of clubs in the Premier League and he has been linked with a move to England.
And according to French sports daily L’Equipe, Monaco have learned Wolves are preparing to put in a major offer to snare Badiashile away from the Stade Louis II this summer.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo managed to build a strong defence last season and wants to invest in his backline again ahead of the new campaign.
And Badiashile has been identified by Wolves as someone who can make a name for himself in the near future and develop further at Molineux.
Monaco do not want to sell, but it has been claimed that they value the defender at €40m.
The Ligue 1 giants have also learned from intermediaries that Manchester United are also considering making a move for the young defender, making the task of keeping him potentially even tougher.
