Wolves Eye Lazio’s Christos Mandas Amidst January Transfer Speculation
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly established contact with Lazio regarding a potential transfer of goalkeeper Christos Mandas in the upcoming January transfer window. The proposed transfer fee is estimated to be around €30 million, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Mandas, currently with Lazio, is reportedly re-evaluating his future with the Serie A club after recently losing his position as the first-choice goalkeeper. This development has attracted attention from several clubs, including Wolves, who are keen to strengthen their goalkeeping options.
The 22-year-old Greek goalkeeper made a promising start to his Lazio career after joining last summer, showcasing impressive reflexes and command in the penalty area. However, a recent decline in form has resulted in him being relegated to the bench, fueling speculation about a possible move.
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is said to be a strong admirer of Mandas and views him as a potential long-term solution for the club’s goalkeeping position. The Wanderers have been closely monitoring Mandas’ progress and are now prepared to make a formal approach.
However, Wolves are not the only club vying for Mandas’ signature. West Ham United are also reportedly interested in acquiring the young goalkeeper, with manager David Moyes also seeking to reinforce his goalkeeping department.
The January transfer window is anticipated to be a busy period for both Wolves and Lazio, as both clubs aim to make strategic additions to their respective squads. The potential transfer of Christos Mandas is expected to be a significant storyline as the window approaches.
Neither club has issued an official statement regarding the potential transfer. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining Mandas’ future and whether he will make a move to the English Premier League.
