Raul Albentosa made eight Championship appearances for Derby County in 2015/16 but could return to England with Bolton Wanderers.
Bolton Wanderers are interested in signing free-agent centre-back Raul Albentosa, according to the Sun (12 February, page 53).
Phil Parkinson’s side are in danger of relegation this season, sitting second from bottom and four points from safety. And the club’s dire financial position meant that they struggled to make any new additions during the January transfer window with Remi Matthews and Callum Connolly the only two players to arrive.
The Sun however believes that Albentosa could be on his way to Lancashire. The 30-year-old defender is without a club after leaving Spanish second tier outfit Deportivo la Coruna last month and is flying in for talks on Monday.
A powerful and commanding centre-back who stands at 6ft 4ins, Albentosa has some prior experience of life in the second division of English football.
The Spaniard moved to Derby County in the winter of 2015 when The Rams triggered the £500,000 release clause in his contract at Eibar.
But Albentosa struggled to establish himself at Pride Park, making just eight Championship appearances before returning to La Liga. He will be hoping to make a better impression at Bolton.
