TOP STORY: Wolves’ Guedes nears Barcelona move

Barcelona are preparing an approach to sign Goncalo Guedes, reports AS.

The 26-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers forward is reported to have already spoken with Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez over a potential switch to the Camp Nou, with the Portugal international keen on the move after hearing about the club’s project.

Sources told ESPN on Thursday that the Blaugrana had reached an agreement worth an initial €3 million with Atletico Madrid to part ways with Memphis Depay, and it looks though Guedes has been identified as his successor.

The LaLiga side are expected to initiate talks with Wolves over an initial six-month loan deal that will include a mandatory option to sign him on a permanent basis in the summer.

Guedes has made 13 league appearances since joining from Valencia, contributing to two goals.
