just in: Salernitana’s expected approval of the deal gives Wolves a chance to sign the summer target in January.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been given an opportunity to resurrect their interest in forward Boulaye Dia in January, as Salernitana is willing to listen to offers for him.

That’s according to Il Mattino, relayed by Calciomercato, who say a move in the winter window ‘cannot be ruled out’ at this moment in time.

The Wolves were keen on Dia at the end of the summer transfer window, making a bid for him in the final few days and on deadline day in a late effort to bolster Gary O’Neill’s squad.

Their proposal was rejected by Salernitana, who were not interested in what was offered and even later publicly derided the offer that had been made by the Wolves.

The player eventually went on something of a strike, falling out with the Italian club over what had happened and his failed move to the Premier League.

 

He’s since returned and is establishing himself as a key player once again, but Il Mattino says a farewell in the January transfer window cannot be ruled out.

According to them, if the club were to receive a ‘convincing offer’ they would be more than happy to sell, although what figure they would consider convincing isn’t mentioned.

In the meantime, Torino’s president is in talks with the player and his agent to discuss potential changes to his contract and perhaps the re-inclusion of a €25 million release clause that expired in the summer.

That would then, presumably, be the figure everyone is looking at, and it’s debatable whether the Wolves would be able to afford such a figure given their difficult financial situation at present.
