Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen on the former Manchester United man.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo
Reports emanating from Spain today suggest that Wolves have made a bid of somewhere in the region of €1.5-€2 million (£1.3-1.75 million) for Eibar striker Bebe, according to Spanish media outlet Marca.
The Portuguese forward famously flopped at Manchester United, after Sir Alex Ferguson paid £8 million to secure his services, despite admitting to never have seen him play.
He has been around the block more than a few times since leaving old Trafford in 2014, spending time at seven different clubs, without ever really impressing.

And Marca now claim that new Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo wants to bring his countryman to the Molineux in a deal thought to be in excess of £1.3 million.
The Black Country outfit are undoubtedly in need of more firepower in forward positions, but it is debatable whether someone with the 26-year-old’s rather underwhelming goalscoring record will be an upgrade on what the Portuguese already has at his disposal.
Bebe is still young enough, however, to prove that he is good enough to succeed in England, and if he came to Wolves with the bit between his teeth, he could be an asset for Nuno’s side.
Nuno
Standing at 6ft 3in tall, he possesses an imposing physique – one that its seemingly ideally suited to the robust nature of the Championship.
He could fit into Wolves’ system, if Nuno plans to install a more direct playing style into his team, and for the minimal price that has been quoted, it could be argued that a move for Bebe is well worth the risk.
