Reported Wolverhampton Wanderers target Joao Palhinha told reporters last month how his future is unclear amid speculation of a move, Estadio Deportivo report.
The Portuguese midfielder has been linked with a move this summer.
According to O Jogo, Wolves are in talks to sign Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon.
The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Braga and has also been linked with Real Betis.
Seville-based editorial Estadio Deportivo quote Palhinha as telling reporters last month how he doesn’t know what the future holds for him.
“There has been a lot of speculation and I don’t know what my future will be like. The nearest future is waiting for everything to turn back to normal. When the season ends, we will soon see what happens.”
Palhinha has been impressive while on loan at Braga.
In 35 games in all competitions, the versatile defensive midfielder has four goals and one assist.
In 18 league appearances, he has averaged 3.5 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 0.8 clearances and 1.8 dribbles per game (Who Scored).
According to Tugascout, Sporting are willing to sell him for £13.2 million.
Palhinha’s comments suggest he isn’t gunning for a return to Sporting. If anything, his response over his future is an open invitation for clubs to sign him.
Wolves have an excellent record in the transfer market in recent years.
The Premier League club have used their contacts well to sign top players from the Iberian Peninsula. Palhinha could be another potential gem.
