Wolves send offer for Napoli target Juanlu Sanchez

Premier League side Wolverhampton have sent an offer worth €17m to sign Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez, according to Sport Mediaset journalist Orazio Accomando.

Wolves rival Napoli with offer for Juanlu Sanchez

Juanlu Sanchez is a Napoli target and, as reported by Football Italia in July, the Partenopei have a principle of agreement with the La Liga side for circa €15m.

This latest report confirms Napoli have reached an agreement with Sevilla and the player, but are yet to finalise the deal, leaving room for Wolves to enter negotiations for the 21-year-old.

Napoli see Juanlu Sanchez as the ideal back-up for captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the right-back position.

Napoli’s priority after six summer signings

However, the Partenopei have currently prioritised the pursuit of a winger and a central midfielder, so they have opened talks with Girona for Miguel Gutierrez and Juventus for Fabio Miretti.

Napoli have already completed six signings this summer: Kevin De Bruyne, Lorenzo Lucca, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Sam Beukema, Noa Lang and Luca Marianucci.
