One transfer option for Wolves to bolster the right side of defence is Kyle Walker, sources close to Molineux News understand.
The position is one of great uncertainty, as club captain Nelson Semedo is yet to decide on his Wolves future.
Semedo has received an offer from Wolves to stay at the club, but is also processing attraction from abroad, with Marseille and Benfica showing an interest.
As a result, Wolves are scanning the market for a new right-back, with one option being six-time Premier League winner Kyle Walker.
Kyle Walker is a transfer option for Wolves
Signing a replacement for Semedo won’t be easy due to the Portugal international’s experience, quality and leadership skills within the Wolves squad.
Fortunately, with Walker on the radar, Vitor Pereira could replace each trait using the 35-year-old, who will return to Manchester City following a loan spell at AC Milan.
Sources close to Molineux News revealed that Walker is a name that has been ‘mentioned’ with regard to possible targets to fill the pending void at right-back.
It’s understood that the fact that the Premier League veteran can play as a right-back and in a back three is considered ‘appealing’ to the Old Gold.
Transfer expert Graeme Bailey of TBR shared that if Walker is open to a return to England, Wolves could be an option.
Speaking to Molineux News, Bailey made it clear that there has yet to be any contact between Walker and Wolves, with the club simply doing the groundwork on the player at present.
“Wolves are just aware of the situation; it’s not like they’re in talks or that anything has gone far, but I’m told he is someone they have considered,” Bailey said.
“If he wants to stay in England, Wolves might be an option for him.”
Walker could be a bargain acquisition for Wolves this summer, but interest is already building around the Man City ace, whose contract at the Etihad expires in 2026.
Walker is the perfect Nelson Semedo replacement
Fabrizio Romano revealed that Everton are in talks to sign Walker, with Turkish giants Fenerbahce also eyeing a move for the defender.
The extent to which Wolves want to sign Walker remains to be seen, but what is certain is that the 35-year-old represents a perfect short-term solution, should Semedo leave this summer.
Replacing the former Barcelona star will be crucial to Pereira rebuilding his squad after key departures, with Walker a figure in consideration for the soon-to-be vacant role.
As Bailey stressed, there has been no contact between Wolves and the player yet, with the club merely looking at the right-back as a possible transfer target this summer.
