Ganea could leave Wolves

Wolves striker Vio Ganea could leave Molineux before the end of the month but intends to stay in English football.

The Romania international, 32, will be out of contract in the summer and according to his agent there is interest from Leeds, Cardiff and Coventry.

Agent Gary Williams told the Romanian press: “Ganea will leave Wolverhampton at the end of the month, moving on to Leeds United, Cardiff or Coventry.

“Wolves don’t want to extend his contract which expires in July. The player say he wants to remain in England, because his family have settled very well here.”

Ganea joined Wolves in 2004 after leaving Turkish league side Bursaspor and has also attracted recent interest from Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad, who are coached by former Romania boss Anghel Iordanescu.

Iordanescu said: “I suggested we should buy Ganea, but our transfer window has closed and there will not be another for two months. I don’t know what will happen to Ganea by then.”

Injuries have disrupted Ganea’s spell at Wolves, and if he does leave it could allow Wolves to bring in another frontman.

They are being linked with Spanish side Elche’s Polish international Tomasz Frankowski.

His agent, Karol Glomb, said: “I think everything is moving in the right direction.

“The English club are offering less than €2m and Elche have not reached agreement yet. Only wen the clubs agree will Wolves be able to start negotiations.”

Elche chairman RamonSanchez added: “Today he is worth €3m but after the World Cup that could rise to €4m or €5m.
