Premier League competitor inches closer to new contract with Spurs’ £35m target, nearing the club’s highest-paid players

Max Kilman, a Tottenham Hotspur target, seems to be on the verge of signing a new contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers, slightly dashing Spurs’ hopes.

The Daily Mail indicates that this deal puts the defender in a prime position to join the ranks of the club’s highest paid athletes.

Max Kilman has been the focus of numerous rumors recently. It’s noted by the Daily Mail that Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, have already proposed a £30 million bid for the 26-year-old.

Spurs’ target Kilman nearing new contract with Wolves

Wolves, however, have set their price tag at £35 million. This has led Napoli to divert their focus. At the same time, Tuttomercatoweb recently reported that Tottenham displays the greatest interest in Kilman amongst Premier League teams.

Spurs are likely to reinforce their defence in the imminent future. This led to speculations whether Ange Postecoglou’s side might make an offer for the former England futsal international.

Nonetheless, indications are that Kilman is nearing a decision to extend his tenure with Wolves. The Daily Mail reports that head coach Julen Lopetegui values him greatly and Kilman himself does not appear eager to exit the club.

Considering everything, it would have been unexpected for Tottenham to invest £35m in acquiring Kilman. Wolves’ dismissal of the £30m offer from Napoli shows they weren’t inclined to negotiate.

Now, it’s crucial for Tottenham to concentrate on recruiting their other prospects. Recent reports from the Daily Mirror suggest that Spurs are hopeful of finalizing a £25m agreement for Micky van de Ven.

Should Kilman decide to stay with Wolves, Tottenham supporters might still keep an eye on his performance next season.
