Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready to make an offer for Tottenham Hotspur target and Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha, according to Record.
The report in the Portuguese publication, as translated by Sport Witness, has claimed that Wolves are leading the race for Palhinha.
The Premier League club are reportedly ready to make an offer for the Portugal international, who is valued at €30 million (£25.65m) by Sporting.
Atletico Madrid are also interested in Palhinha, according to Record.
Earlier this month, Journal de Noticias claimed that Tottenham are planning to make an opening bid for Palhinha before the end of the month.
Tottenham or Wolverhampton Wanderers for Joao Palhinha?
In our opinion, Tottenham would be a better choice than Wolverhampton Wanderers for Palhinha.
Yes, Wolves are an established club in the Premier League, but they are unlikely to challenge for the Champions League places anytime soon.
Tottenham are doing that right now, and Antonio Conte’s side could end up in the Champions League next season.
Palhinha is 26 now and will hit his peak soon.
The Portuguese player will surely want to play for the biggest club he possibly can in his prime.
