Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured their place in next season’s Premier League, alongside West Ham United.
Wolverhampton Wanderers ‘want to kick off their summer spending with a swoop for Atalanta defender Rafael Toloi’, who is also a target for West Ham United, according to the Sun (May 9th, Goals page 7).
The Brazilian centre-back has played 38 times for the Italian side this season, after he was reportedly priced out of a move to Inter Milan.
Atalanta are said to have requested £15 million for Toloi last summer, however, the Sun’s report does not state how much the player is likely to cost this time around.
Perhaps more so than West Ham, Wolves should have plenty in the bank to fund a move for Toloi, who is the latest high profile name to be linked with a move to Molineux.
The newly promoted side have yet to tie up a permanent deal for loan defender Willy Boly and could try to upgrade on Danny Batth and Roderick Miranda whether the Frenchman returns or not.
West Ham, meanwhile, could lose James Collins at the end of his contract this summer, having already offloaded another centre-back, Jose Fonte, in February.
