Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Romain Saiss is reportedly being eyed by Spanish club Atletico Madrid.

According to Moroccan outlet Lions De L’Atlas, Atletico are watching the 28-year-old ahead of a potential summer move.

The report details that an unnamed Saudi Arabian club were prepared to quadruple his wages in January, but he turned down the move away from Molineux.

Saiss is a surprise target for Champions League regulars Atletico and he’s certainly not a regular starter for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

But Wolves should not allow the Morocco international to depart and need to secure his long-term future.

Saiss is currently under contract with the Premier League club until 2020, which is slightly alarming considering he’s got less than 18 months left on his deal and is on Atletico’s radar.

The left-footed ace is a vital squad player for Nuno and has made the step up well from Championship to the Premier League.

He’s made 17 appearances across all competitions and is an all-action defensive midfielder that can be a machine in the centre of the park.

His versatility to also drop back into a three-man defence adds to his value and he should be kept at the club beyond the summer.
