Wolves want £45million for Max Kilman including add-ons after rejecting an offer from West Ham, sources have told Football Insider.
The London club’s opening offer was worth £25million in total as Julen Lopetegui looks to sign his former centre-back for his new club.
The London side believe they can strike a deal below Wolves’ asking price if Kilman pushes hard for the move this summer.
But sources say a deal is not close for the 27-year-old at this stage as Gary O’Neil’s side look to keep hold of their captain for next season.
Kilman is under contract at Molineux until 2028 after only signing a new five-year deal last August.
Wolves looking to keep hold of Max Kilman despite PSR concerns
Football Insider first revealed last month Kilman was a top transfer target for West Ham this summer after announcing Lopetegui as their new manager.
The Spanish boss is on the lookout for new defensive recruits after the club conceded 74 goals under David Moyes last season – the fourth-worst record in the Premier League.
Kilman featured in every Premier League game for Wolves and made 44 appearances in all competitions across the campaign after being named captain last summer.
Football Insider revealed last month the centre-back is one of four star players the West Midlands club could be forced to cash in on this summer due to their financial situation.
West Ham have seen their opening offer turned down for the London-born defender after their bid fell £20million below Wolves’ asking price.
Reports have suggested National League side Maidenhead United, who Kilman joined Wolves from for £40,000 in 2018, hold a sell-on clause worth between 15-20 per cent on the Molineux star.
