AliousWolves and Forest go head-to-head for 47-cap US star as £21m Napoli deal collapses – AC Milan ready to sell**
Wolves are ramping up their summer transfer activity after a quiet start, now targeting a high-profile midfield addition following several major departures. Having already secured the signing of Fer Lopez, the club is looking to fill key gaps left by the exits of Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Pablo Sarabia.
One of Wolves’ next priorities is bolstering their midfield ranks, especially with Tommy Doyle’s departure on the horizon. Among the names being considered is 22-year-old Yunus Musah, a versatile and dynamic US international with 47 senior caps, currently on the books at AC Milan.
Wolves aren’t alone in their pursuit. Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest, led by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, are also eyeing Musah. Both clubs are reportedly willing to match the £21 million valuation that Italian side Napoli had initially proposed before pulling out of the race.
AC Milan are understood to be open to offers from the English duo, and with Napoli no longer in the running, the door appears wide open for a Premier League move. Musah, known for his powerful running and athleticism, fits the profile of the physically dominant players that new Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has preferred.
Although there are concerns about his defensive contributions, Musah’s elite ball-carrying ability could help fill the creative void left by recent departures, particularly Cunha and Ait-Nouri. With a new financial window opening, Wolves may now be poised to act swiftly in securing the American midfielder’s signature.
The battle for Musah is shaping up to be one of the key transfer duels of the summer, as Wolves and Forest prepare to go all-in for the AC Milan star.
