Daniel Podence holds Celtic transfer leverage as Wolves see Parkhead target as urgent 'solution' to £10m problem

There's talk of a £12m pricetag - but Daniel Podence and talks with Celtic could come with some leverage over Wolves. The 27-year-old winger is said to be on the radar of Brendan Rodgers as the Irishman looks to beef up his attack with Portuguese flavour ahead of a tilt in the Champions League.

Jota has left a void in the Premiership champions' attack after his £25m move to Al-Ittihad and his countryman could come in to replace him, albeit the initial asking price set by the Molineux club is likely to see Celtic ask for a reduction.

Into the last 12 months of his deal already, a lack of available funds at Gary O'Neill's disposal could provide a Parkhead boost.

The Athletic claim that Switzerland international Nico Elvedi is one of their targets but even though the Borussia Monchengladbach defender is keen on the move, "Wolves do not have the funds available to pay even the modest transfer fee — potentially less than £10million ($12.7m) — that it would take to land Elvedi." They need to generate funds if a move is to get the green light.
