Last week, it was reported by We News that Brentford was in advanced negotiations to secure the signature of the defender. The acquisition of a centre-back has been a primary focus for Brentford this summer, aiming to enhance their performance following their ninth-place achievement in the Premier League last season.
Wolves reportedly turned down a £30.5m bid from Napoli for Max Kilman, one of their centre-backs. However, it seems that the Premier League side is holding out for a higher offer.
