Mclean asks for new deal
Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Wolves target Aaron Mclean's head is 'all over the place' as he revealed the striker's demands for a new contract.
Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Wolves target Aaron Mclean's head is 'all over the place' as he revealed the striker's demands for a new contract.
Mclean is on the transfer list at London Road after demanding a move last week following Peterborough's decision to slap a £3m price tag on him.
That hasn't stopped him joining the Posh squad on a training camp in Marbella.
But despite his preference to come to Molineux, Wolves haven't budged on their £1.5m bid they had rejected several weeks ago.
"I've always promised Aaron I wouldn't stand in his way if a Premier League club came in for him," said MacAnthony.
"Aaron phoned me last week, thanked me for my support, asked if he could take me up on my previous offer of a new contract and said he'd now like to stay at the club.
"I then spoke to his agent for a good hour on the phone, but I nearly fell over when he set out the terms Aaron wanted.
"Anyhow I offered Aaron the best contract this club has seen and his agent laughed at it. Aaron asked for a transfer the following day.
"I'm afraid his head is all over the place and this happens in football.
"If Wolves believe in him as much as I always have, they know the price it will take to buy him.
"If they don't then he stays and plays for his place in our team as per his current contract."
Meanwhile Wolves and Bristol City have refuted suggestions on the rumour mill that there has been a £2.5m Molineux bid for Robins midfielder Marvin Elliott.
City insist there have been no bids and Wolves say there is no interest in the player.
And contrary to weekend reports, Wolves say they have no interest in Sunderland striker Michael Chopra.
