Wolves closing in on Spanish defender
Wolves are closing in on the £13million signing of Spanish defender Marc Pubill.
The 22-year-old, who currently plays for Almeria in the Spanish second division, is closing in on a Premier League switch with an agreement close.
He will serve as a replacement to Nelson Semedo at right-wing-back, who Vitor Pereira revealed this week is expected to move on as a free agent and sign elsewhere.
Spanish under-21 defender Pubill was attracting interest from several clubs in Europe, including AC Milan, but Wolves are now hopeful of securing his signature.
Pubill managed one goal and five assists in 40 appearances in all competitions last season.
He originally came through at Levante before joining Almeria in 2023.
The defender played four times for Spain in the recent under-21s European Championships, as they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by England.
Wolves have so far signed Fer Lopez, while Jhon Arias is due for his medical to become the second signing of the summer, and the club hope to land Pubill as their third addition.
It is understood Pubill is not on pre-season with Almeria as all parties work on completing his move to Wolves.
