Wolves priced out of Balde move
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is still interested in a swoop for Bobo Balde but insists he is unable to meet the Celtic defender's wage demands.
Balde is reportedly earning around £30,000 a week at Parkhead but would have the opportunity to play first-team football at Molineux.
McCarthy said: "We don't pay that kind of money as we're not in that market or that pay league, so it's a non-starter in that sense. But he has only one year left on his contract so he has the option of staying and taking the money or moving on; taking less but playing and having a longer contract."
He added: "I enquired about his availability before the end of last season.
"I had watched Celtic play against Rangers and I just asked a question then about what his financial position was.
"Balde has always been one I've liked because he is a big, powerful centre-half."
