Wolverhampton Wanderers appear to be entering the decisive stages of negotiations for Girona defender Ladislav Krejčí, according to transfer journalist Matteo Moretto (via Talking Wolves on X). The Czech international has emerged as one of Wolves' main targets to strengthen their defensive line this summer, with reports suggesting that discussions are progressing quickly.
The latest update suggests that "key hours" are ahead in determining whether a deal will be finalised, raising hopes that Wolves could soon secure one of their priority signings of the window.
£25.9 Million offer on the table
Reports indicate that Wolves have submitted an offer of around £25.9 million, a figure Girona are said to be prepared to accept. With the Spanish club open to a sale at that price point, the move now rests on the finalisation of negotiations between the two sides.
Importantly, personal terms have already been agreed with Krejčí, leaving Wolves and Girona to finalise the agreement. If successful, the signing would represent a significant investment for the Midlands club and a major statement of intent from Vítor Pereira's side as they look to strengthen a depleted squad

Defensive reinforcement is a priority
Strengthening the back line has been a priority for Wolves this summer. Pereira has made it clear that additional depth and quality in defence is needed to balance the squad and add more solidity this season.
Krejčí, 26, has developed into a commanding figure for Girona's defence and would bring a 6ft 3 physical defender to Molineux. He also boasts an incredible attacking record for a centre-back with 53 career goals and 16 assists, as well as being a competent penalty taker. His profile as a left-footed centre back matches what Wolves have been looking for this summer.
With Girona prepared to accept Wolves' bid and the player eager to make a move, the next 24 hours could prove decisive. Fans will be watching closely to see if Wolves can finalise what would be one of their most important transfers of the summer.
