Lazio want £17m for Wolves target Christos Mandas
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been credited with an interest in Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas.
The 22-year-old joined the Italian outfit last summer but started only eight Serie A matches, with Ivan Provedel as their number one goalie.
The Greek footballer wants to play regular football and may push for an exit this summer.
Wolves are keen but they will have to pay £17 million to acquire Mandas’ services, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Midlands outfit are in the market for a new goalkeeper, with the club said to be open to offers for Jose Sa.
The Portuguese started 35 matches in the Premier League last season, conceding 58 goals and keeping four clean sheets.
Jose Sa has now turned 31 and the club may look to bring in a younger replacement.
Wolves have been linked with Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale who has fallen out of favour at the Emirates Stadium.
But a deal for the England international is not expected to be easy as the Gunners could demand a premium fee to let him leave this summer.
Christos Mandas will be a good option for the Old Gold but they must beat off competition from Southampton who are also keen on him.
Wolves have sanctioned the departures of Max Kilman and Pedro Neto in two big deals, but they have only signed Rodrigo Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima.
The Wanderers are expected to make more additions before the summer transfer window shuts on August 30.

Wolves transfer news
The Midlands club were on course for a fairly successful summer, before Chelsea emerged to land Pedro Neto’s signature. The winger’s exit leaves quite the attacking void to fill, and one that Wolves must look to fix before deadline day at the end of the month.
