Wolves have accelerated in their pursuit of Sevilla full-back Juanlu, as the Premier League side look to beat Napoli in the race to sign the Spaniard.

According to Fabrizio Romano on X, Wolves are now pushing to sign the 21-year-old, despite Napoli being in talks to sign the player for over a month.

Why Napoli fell behind Wolves in Juanlu race

Last month, we revealed that Napoli were not prioritising a move for Juanlu, as Antonio Conte’s side were favouring moves for potential starters. The Spaniard, meanwhile, would have been a backup option for Giovanni Di Lorenzo and therefore the Neapolitans took their foot off the gas when Sevilla stood firm over their demands for the player.

Now, Wolves will try to close on a deal for the Spain U23 international. It is likely that the Premier League side will have to meet the €15 million that Napoli had ready to offer Sevilla for the youngster.
