Fiorentina reportedly want Wolves ace.
Wolves’ deadline busting move for Leander Dendoncker is yet to pay off.
The Belgian midfielder move to Wolves on loan in August, a move which will become permanent for £13.5 million in January, Transfermarkt report.
So far Dendoncker has played only three matches, two League Cup starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League.
Now Italian website Calciomercato report Serie A side Fiorentina are interested in Dendoncker.
This does not have to be seen as a negative development where Wolves are concerned.
Firstly it highlights that despite his slow start, Wolves have a talent on their hands, who they just need to be patient with.
It hasn’t worked out so far, but there are reasons, with Dendoncker still young, adjusting to a new league, and missing pre-season due to his World Cup involvement with Belgium.
Secondly, if Wolves do decide they have made an error, then they will have little trouble moving him on quickly, and could probably do so for a profit.
Wolves could also look at sending him out on loan in the future, and Fiorentina’s interests highlights they won’t be short of takers.
Fiorentina’s monitoring of Dendoncker just serves to reinforce Wolves’ summer belief that they signed a talent, and it gives them options if they feel he is not ready now, or might never be.
