Wolves reject lowball Real Sociedad bid for Ladislav Krejci | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) have rebuffed an official bid from Real Sociedad for defender Ladislav Krejci, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Wolves signed the defender permanently this summer following a successful loan spell at the Molineux Stadium, but he could already be on the move again.

The Czech international was one of the few shining spots for Wolves last season, despite the relegation to the second division.

The left-footed 27-year-old helped keep three clean sheets in 28 Premier League appearances, winning 57 percent of his aerial and 43% of his ground duels.

He could be the next player to exit the Old Gold this summer after Tolu Arokodare and Joao Gomes.

However, his suitors will need to increase their offer for his services. Apparently, Wolves rejected the first bid as they considered it too low.

The La Liga side might come back with a better bid, but it remains to be seen if it will be enough to convince the Midlands club to sell such a prized asset.

Wolves should consider Max Kilman to replace Krejci

If Wolves eventually sell Krejci, the club should seriously consider bringing Max Kilman back to Molineux.

His £40 million move to West Ham United has failed to go according to plan, and a return to familiar surroundings could benefit all parties.

Kilman knows the club inside out, understands the expectations, and has already proven he can thrive in Wolves’ back line.

Crucially, he is left-footed, just like Krejci, making him a natural stylistic replacement rather than forcing a tactical reshuffle.

He also brings invaluable Premier League experience and leadership to a squad that could lose one of its defensive pillars.

Sometimes the best transfer is one you’ve already seen succeed, and if Krejci departs, Wolves should not hesitate to explore a reunion with their former captain.
