The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is believed to be a firm target for Vitor Pereira as he looks to bolster the club's attacking department.

Matheus Cunha has sealed a move to Manchester United while Pablo Sarabia was not offered a new deal following the expiration of his contract.

With question marks over the future of Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee Chan, a deal for Lopez would appear a smart move.

Lopez enjoyed a breakthrough season in La Liga and earned rave reviews showing great potential at such a young age.

He is currently holidaying with Wolves striker and former club teammate Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Lopez is also a Gestifute client with the agency having strong links with Fosun.

It is not believed that Lopez will be a direct replacement for Cunha, but would go straight into the first team squad should a deal be confirmed.
