Besiktas the latest to target Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci | OneFootball

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Wolves expect approaches for Ladislav Krejci this summer, with Besiktas the latest club to target the defender.

The 27-year-old is captaining the Czech Republic at the World Cup. He became a permanent Wolves player last week when an appearance-related option to buy from Girona was activated, taking the total outlay to £26 million including a £6 million loan fee.

Leeds have made enquiries over a possible move and other clubs are circling. Wolves would like to keep Krejci and are not under pressure to sell cheaply despite relegation to the Championship.

Decisions on his future are unlikely before the end of the World Cup, with team-mates Hwang Hee-chan and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde also away. The Czechs face Mexico on Wednesday in their final group match and need a win to avoid a likely exit.

A major overhaul is planned, with goalkeepers Jose Sa and Sam Johnstone both expected to leave. Johnstone is on Manchester United’s shortlist as they look for a back-up to No 1 Senne Lammens.

Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes is widely expected to depart.

Wolves have moved early on incomings, signing Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez on free transfers, while Brazilian midfielder Andre has agreed a new contract.

New boss Cesar Peixoto can also count on strong backing, with season tickets sold out. The final 600 went within 40 minutes on Monday morning, taking the total to 22,500 for their Championship return, the same as last season after prices were cut by at least 25 per cent.
