Race for Mark Pubill heats up as Wolves battle Juventus

Wolves are in talks to sign Marc Pubill from Almeria, targeting the highly rated Spanish right-back as a possible replacement for Nelson Semedo. Pubill, 22, enjoyed a standout season with 40 appearances, one goal, and five assists, drawing praise for his power, forward runs, and strong crossing. He’s an Olympic gold medalist with Spain and was a key performer in the recent Under-21 European Championship.

While Fabrizio Romano reports Wolves are moving fast to secure Pubill and fend off competition from Italian clubs and Barcelona, there are conflicting updates on how far negotiations have progressed. Juventus remain firmly in the race, with Italian journalist Giovanni Albanese stating the Serie A side are also working on a deal for the talented defender. With a £17 million price tag and several top clubs interested, Wolves face tough competition, but Pubill’s all-action style could make him a valuable addition if they can seal the move.

Known for his power, forward runs, and reliable crossing, Pubill’s style fits the profile manager Vitor Pereira is looking for on the right side. His stats—including high numbers of forward passes, take-ons, and duels won—highlight his all-around impact. Pubill could also link up well with potential Wolves signing Jhon Arias, creating an exciting partnership down the right flank. With the transfer race heating up and a reported £17 million price tag, Wolves are pushing to finalise a deal and bring more attacking threat and stability to their back line.

Pubill has a contract until 2029, and the asking price is €15m.
