Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen to bring Serie A striker Patrick Cutrone to the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have offered an initial £16 million for AC Milan striker Patrick Cutrone, according to Calciomercato.
Whether the deal is even possible, however, is another matter altogether.
The Express and Star claimed last week that Wolves were on the verge of signing an Italian international centre-forward from the seven-time European champions. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were apparently in advanced negotiations and increasingly hopeful that Cutrone would be heading to Molineux before the new Premier League season.
But Wolves fans, who have been a little frustrated about the lack of new additions, shouldn’t get ahead of themselves.
Calciomercato claimed a few days ago that Cutrone wasn’t particularly keen on a move to the Black Country as he looks to force his way back into the Milan starting XI.
With a new coach in Marco Giampaolo at the helm, the 21-year-old should be offered a clean slate after spending much of last season on the bench under Gennaro Gattuso.
Wolves offered a fee of £16 million, rising to around £18 million, which looks like good business in this day and age for an old-school centre-forward who has scored 27 goals in his first two seasons in the AC Milan first team.
In an ideal world, however, the Rossoneri would cash in for closer to £25 million, the report adds.
