Wolves working on alternative signings amid battle for Juanlu Sanchez

The club have been in talks with Sevilla for the 21-year-old Spaniard and were hopeful of completing a deal, despite competition from fellow Premier League sides.

However, Italian champions Napoli have also been attempting to close a deal and have had an offer rejected by Sevilla.

It is understood the player and his representatives have been waiting to see if Napoli can reach an agreement with Sevilla before they explore the possibility of a Wolves move. If Napoli do have a bid accepted, Sanchez is expected to sign with them.

Despite that, it is understood the door is not yet fully closed on a move to Wolves, who remain interested in signing Sanchez.

In the meantime, Wolves are working on alternative signings if a deal for Sanchez does not materialise.

Bringing in a right-wing-back remains one of Wolves' priorities with the Premier League season starting soon and the transfer window closing on September 1.

Meanwhile, Wolves are still in talks with Borussia Dortmund over the sale of Fabio Silva.

The German club have been negotiating a £17million deal but it is understood Wolves want a package in excess of £20million.

Talks have been progressing well and there is hope of a deal being agreed.
