Matt Mills wants a move to Wolves
Wednesday 29th June 2011, 11:00AM BST.
Wolves target Matt Mills has set his heart on a move to Molineux – providing the clubs can agree a fee.
Sources close to the 24-year-old Reading defender, who was last night linked with big-spending Leicester, wants to sign for Wolves manager Mick McCarthy, but will not rock the boat by asking for a transfer.
That puts the focus back on the two clubs, who remain ‘some way apart’ in their respective valuations of the former Doncaster centre-back.
Reading want £4million for Mills while Wolves have offered £3million-plus for the ex-Manchester City reserve, who has a year left on his contract.
Mills is understood to have discussed his future with Royals boss Brian McDermott yesterday.
McDermott is keen to hang on to his captain and Reading have offered Mills a new deal worth up to £20,000 a week.
But Mills will be aware he could improve on that at Wolves, if and when a fee is agreed for his services.
Blackburn and Stoke remain in the background in case Wolves fail to win the bidding war, which isn’t expected to reach a swift conclusion.
Reading have discussed prices with other clubs, but Wolves are understood to be the only serious club talking about bids.
