According to HITC, Newcastle United failed in a bid to target defensive target Max Kilman. Wolves remain firm on their stance and will seek a high price for their key stars, including their skipper. The Magpies are in the market for a new defender,
Newcastle United’s Max Kilman bid rejected
Wolves have some interesting players like Max Kilman and Pedro Neto, who have attracted interest from top clubs. However, the Midlands side either insists they are not for sale or would seek a proper price based on their valuation of their prized assets.
Newcastle United have reportedly seen a bid rejected for Max Kilman, as their offer is seen very close to what West Ham offered. Wolves rejected the Hammers’ offer for the defender as former boss Julen Lopetegui eyes a reunion with the centre-back.
Wolves are thought to want at least £50 million or close to that valuation, which might make things a bit complicated for Newcastle United, which has problems with the PSR. However, the Magpies are expected to return with an improved offer in the coming period, which will signal their intentions about signing the defender.
The report also names Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool as suitors for the defender, although these clubs may have him down the list of potential targets this summer. Kilman would evaluate his situation at the club and then make a decision, which will involve joining a team where he is the regular starter rather than a cover option.
Newcastle United are seeking new defenders
Lloyd Kelly is joining them this summer on a free transfer from Bournemouth, although Eddie Howe wants another centre-back with a right-sided profile. Fikayo Tomori seems uninterested in a move to St. James’ Park, and they earlier wanted Tosin Adarabioyo before he chose Chelsea as his next destination.
There is also interest in Alessandro Buongiorno, although there are big doubts about whether they can take away the Italian to England, especially without UEFA Champions League football. For now, Kilman remains a firm target for the Magpies as they could test Wolves’ resolve with another offer, possibly close to what they want for the defender.
