Exclusive - Newcastle in contact with Wolves as they bid for Max Kilman and enquire about Pedro Neto

Wolves insist they do want to lose a host of their stars names this summer but they are already having to fend off multiple bids for their captain Max Kilman.

HITC revealed on Saturday that Wolves had rejected a bid from West Ham United for Kilman as their offer, which was near to £30million, was some way off their valuation of their captain.

Sources have told HITC that Wolves want close to £50million to let the 27-year-old leave. They rejected £30million from Italian giants Napoli last summer and since then Kilman has since signed a new long-term contract.

Newcastle bid for Max Kilman is rejected by Wolves

HITC revealed that the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle were all keeping tabs on Kilman too and now a rival bid has been lodged with Eddie Howe’s Magpies making their move.

Newcastle have offered close to West Ham’s initial offer but they did it with cash plus an unnamed player, which Wolves sources have confirmed was young midfielder Elliot Anderson.

However, Wolves have already rejected Newcastle’s opening approach although they are considering making an improved offer.

Newcastle also ask Wolves about Pedro Neto situation

HITC can also confirm that during the talks over Kilman – Newcastle also asked Wolves about Pedro Neto, a player they have been a long-standing interest in.

Newcastle, who are also in talks to sign Everton’s Daniel Calvert-Lewin, are looking to add a wide-attacker this summer and they took the opportunity to check on the current situation of the 24-year-old Portuguese international.

Wolves, like with Kilman, insist they don’t need to sell anyone and it they do they will demand their valuations are met in full and sources at Molineux insist it would take £60million to land Neto – who enjoyed one of the best season’s of his career with nine assists to his name.
