La Liga outfit Real Sociedad late this week sent an offer to English side Wolverhampton Wanderers, for defensive star Ladislav Krejčí.
The proposal in question, however, was deemed as insufficient by those in a position of power at Molineux.
The brass at Real Sociedad are widely understood to be on the hunt for fresh blood at the heart of the club’s backline with a view to the season ahead.
Following the respective departures of Aritz Elustondo and Duje Ćaleta-Car, the Basques suddenly find themselves short on options in defence.
A far-reaching search, spanning Europe and beyond, has in turn long been underway in the boardroom at Anoeta. And over the last couple of weeks, the name of the aforementioned Krejčí has been circled in red.
After Wolves were relegated back to The Championship, the Czech national team’s captain has been identified as a potential market opportunity.
So much so that, as per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:
‘Real Sociedad sent an official bid to Wolves for Czech defender Ladislav Krejci.’ It is also added, however, that the bid was considered ‘too low’.
La Real are expected to return to the table with an improved proposal in short order.
