Contact made: Spiers drops worrying Wolves news as another 'instrumental' player could now leave

Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Wolves youngster Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.

The 22-year-old was loaned out to Sheffield United last summer and it proved to be a fantastic move for him, as he helped them reach the Championship playoffs.

Granted, Gibbs-White missed a decisive penalty in Tuesday’s penalty shootout defeat to Nottingham Forest, but he scored 12 goals and registered ten assists in the league in 2021/22.

The midfielder will now return to Wolves full of confidence, but it could be that his future lies elsewhere.

According to The Athletic‘s Tim Spiers, Milan have ‘lodged a tentative inquiry’ regarding the signing of Gibbs-White, although no significant progress has been made.

It is stated that Gibbs-White will want to test himself at the ‘highest level’ and that Wanderers will demand a huge fee and a ‘hefty’ sell-on clause if he does leave.

Gibbs-White is a special young talent – Billy Sharp called him ‘instrumental’ at Sheffield United – so the idea of Wolves losing him just when he looks to have found his stride in senior football is hugely worrying.

With Ruben Neves looking highly likely to leave this summer, the Englishman may have an opportunity to make a central midfield spot his own at Molineux, although the lure of Milan could be great.

They are on the verge of being crowned Serie A champions and will be playing in the Champions League next season – something that could appeal greatly to Gibbs-White.
