Wolves were dealt a significant blow in their transfer plans as Atletico Madrid managed to hijack the transfer of Marc Pubill, who was being lined up as a potential replacement for Nelson Semedo. The talented 22-year-old had caught Wolves’ attention with his impressive performances at Almeria in the previous season.
Despite Wolves being on the verge of finalizing the deal, Atletico swooped in and successfully convinced Pubill to join them instead. It is reported that Pubill had a strong desire to stay in Spain, which played a significant role in Atletico securing his transfer in a remarkably short time frame.
This unexpected turn of events has left Wolves searching for an alternative to Semedo, a task that has proven to be challenging given the last-minute nature of Pubill’s transfer to Atletico. This is not the first time Wolves have faced a transfer hijack, as they also missed out on Manu Silva in a similar manner earlier in the year.
With Pubill now set to join Atletico, Wolves will have to shift their focus towards finding a suitable replacement for Semedo. The sudden change in plans due to Atletico’s intervention has left Wolves in a difficult position as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
