Leeds United, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford 'keen' on Wolves defender Santiago Bueno
Leeds United, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford credited with interest in Wolves defender Santiago Bueno
Leeds United are reportedly one of four Premier League clubs keen on Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Santiago Bueno.
The 27-year-old recently played at Elland Road, completing 90 minutes at centre-back as Wolves were swept aside by Leeds on April 18.
With Wolves heading back to the Championship, many of their key figures look set to move on and Bueno could be among those seeking pastures new.
Leeds United linked with another key Wolves figure
According to Sport Witness, the Uruguay international has attracted interest from Leeds.
West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Brentford have also been thrown into the mix as reported admirers ahead of the summer transfer window.
West Ham and Brenford are both said to have made contact over the defender, who is reportedly keen on remaining in the Premier League.
It has not been suggested how much he would cost, but Wolves’ relegation has weakened their bargaining stance rather considerably. Bueno is under contract at Molineux until 2028.
Wolves players eyed
Beuno is not the only Wolves player to have been linked with Leeds - and he is not even the only Wolves defender. His fellow centre-back Ladislav Krejčí, who Wolves also signed from Girona, has been mooted as a potential target for the Whites.
There has also been talk of interest in midfielders Andre and Joao Gomes as well as versatile attacker Mateus Mane.
Although a move may be on the cards for Bueno this summer, his immediate priority will be the World Cup. The defender has been capped on eight occasions by Uruguay and was named in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad for friendlies last month.
He was not in the squad as the South American nation held England to a draw at Wembley on March 27, but sat on the bench for their goalless draw with Algeria on March 31.
