Wolves Lead Race to Sign Spanish Star

Wolves are making significant strides in the transfer market, positioning themselves as frontrunners to secure the signature of Almeria’s highly-rated right-back, Marc Pubill. The 22-year-old Spaniard has emerged as one of the most promising talents in Spanish football, and Wolves are keen to bolster their defensive ranks with his addition.

A Rising Star in Spanish Football

Marc Pubill, a product of Levante’s youth academy, has been turning heads with his performances for Almeria in La Liga 2. Known for his athleticism, defensive solidity, and ability to contribute to the attack, Pubill has established himself as a versatile full-back capable of thriving in both a traditional back-four and a wing-back system. His standout performances in the 2023/24 La Liga season, where he made 34 appearances across all competitions, scored once, and provided five assists, have attracted attention from some of Europe’s top clubs.

Pubill’s international pedigree further enhances his appeal. A Spain Under-21 international, he played a key role in the recent UEFA European Under-21 Championship, scoring the tournament’s opening goal against Slovakia and earning praise as one of the competition’s standout right-backs. His Olympic gold medal with Spain at the 2024 Paris Games underscores his potential as a future star.

Competition from Other Clubs

While Wolves are currently leading the race, they face stiff competition from AC Milan, who have recently intensified their interest in Pubill. The Italian giants, under new manager Massimiliano Allegri, have made contact with the player’s representatives and are preparing an offer of their own, also around €15 million. Barcelona and Juventus have also been linked with the young defender, though Wolves’ proactive approach has given them an edge.

Milan’s interest stems from their decision to pivot away from RC Strasbourg’s Guéla Doué, whose €25 million price tag proved too steep. However, reports suggest that Milan’s focus on Pubill is not as advanced as Wolves’, with some sources indicating that the Rossoneri may prioritize other targets.
