Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing 46-cap Portuguese international Diogo Jota from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Diogo Jota is the subject of interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Black Country outfit will dip into the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window, and they have set their sights on the Liverpool forward. The Reds are ready to part ways with the 46-cap Portuguese international, and they will demand around £55 million to part ways with him.
Diogo Jota and his Liverpool journey
Diogo Jota has been one of the most dependable performers for Liverpool since arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth £45 million, including add-ons, in September 2020. While the Porto native has struggled with fitness issues throughout his spell with the Merseyside outfit, he has been prolific for much of his stint at Anfield.
The 28-year-old has amassed 64 goals and 22 assists in 174 appearances across all competitions thus far for Liverpool. Jota has contributed to a strike every alternate outing for the Merseyside club, making him a valuable asset for Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot.
However, Jota’s fitness issues have compounded with each passing season, while his productivity has reduced this season. So, it is hardly surprising that Liverpool might mull over parting ways with the 46-cap Portuguese international in the summer transfer window. Wolverhampton Wanderers are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Molineux return on the horizon?
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ interest in Diogo Jota makes sense. The Black Country outfit will aim to sign a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Matheus Cunha’s long-term future. The Brazilian international is a target for several Premier League bigwigs, including Liverpool.
So, Wolverhampton Wanderers need a new versatile attacker, with Jota emerging as a viable target for the Premier League club. Meanwhile, Liverpool will demand around £55 million to part ways with the 46-cap Portuguese international in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool’s asking price might be a bit high, considering Jota’s fitness issues in the last few years. So, it will be interesting to see if Wolverhampton Wanderers meet the Merseyside club’s valuation of £55 million to re-sign the 28-year-old in the summer transfer window.
