Wolves could opt to sign Braga midfielder Al-Musrati if they miss out on Joao Palhinha this summer, according to a fresh transfer rumour.
Bruno Lage will likely be working on a number of new signings in the summer transfer window, with midfield arguably the most important area to strengthen in.
It looks highly likely that Ruben Neves will move on to pastures new, meaning a new top-class midfielder will be needed to plug the gap, especially with no new deal agreed yet for Joao Moutinho.
Wolves have been linked with a move for Al-Musrati in the recent past and now a new update is doing the rounds.
According to O Jogo, Wolves could now sign the 26-year-old if they are unable to get a deal for Palhinha over the line.
Al-Musrati stood as a key man for Braga last season, starting 30 Primeira Liga matches and 11 Europa League games, with his current deal expiring in 2024.
The importance of a new midfield signing for Wolves this summer cannot be underestimated and Al-Musrati could be a great signing for Wanderers.
At 26, the 40-time capped Libya international is at an ideal age to provide plenty of experience but also still have years left in him at the top level.
Al-Musrati averaged 2 tackles and 2 aerial wins per game across all competitions last term, so he could be a dominant defensive presence, while he also completes six long passes per game, a number identical to Neves’ Premier League average.
