Christantus Uche is edging closer to a move to the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers have made an official €20 million bid to Getafe for the Nigerian attacking midfielder. Negotiations between the two clubs are gathering pace.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international has been attracting attention across Europe following his impressive performances for Getafe. Wolverhampton Wanderers have gone on the offensive, submitting a concrete proposal to the Madrid-based club. The English side is keen to wrap up this deal quickly to bolster their attacking options.

A beneficial deal for Getafe

Getafe have shown a willingness to negotiate over their Nigerian gem. The Spanish club is facing financial difficulties and urgently needs to sell in order to balance the books. The Madrid management initially set Uche's price tag at €25 million, matching the player's release clause.

However, financial pressures have now forced the Azulones' board to lower their demands. Wolves' €20 million offer aligns with the club's revised expectations. This sum could enable Getafe to resolve their financial fair play issues.
