Wolves would be tempted to sell West Ham target Max Kilman if their valuation is met, talkSPORT understands.
It’s understood that Gary O’Neil’s side value the defender at £45million.
West Ham are ready to renew their long-standing interest in Kilman following the appointment of former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.
talkSPORT first revealed West Ham wanted to sign centre-back Kilman in January, however a move was not able to be agreed.
The Irons finished last season in ninth position in the Premier League, with Wolves finishing down in 14th.
Manchester United have also held an interest in the 26-year-old, following an impressive season.

Kilman, who signed for Wolves in 2018 from non-League club Maidenhead United, played every minute for Wolves in the Premier League last term.
He was also named captain last summer, succeeding Ruben Neves who moved on from the club for a new adventure in Saudi Arabia.
Since joining the club, Kilman has made 151 appearances for Wolves, scoring three goals in the process.
He penned a new contract through to 2028 only last summer and was named captain last season.
Speaking about his time at Wolves, Kilman said: “I’ve always had a determined and tough mentality and it’s always been within me. I’ve had to fight for every opportunity because nothing has ever just been given to me.
“I’ve always had to work my hardest and sometimes against the odds because coming from non-league here to Wolves, there wasn’t that much expectation on me.
“I came into the under-23s and no-one really expected me to break into the first-team because I was quite an older player in that squad – I was two and a half years older than most of the boys.
“But I just knew that I needed to work, because anything could have happened, so I just had to believe that if I try my best, at least I’ve given it my all and there would not be any regrets if I did progress at Wolves or if I didn’t.
“That’s the mentality I had. Just to fight, and every time I got called up to train with the first-team, I would approach it like a game. I wasn’t relaxed, I was hungry, and I wanted to show my ability.
“Obviously, I was learning from the manager at the time and the amazing players we had at that point when I was breaking through and they were so crucial for my development. I really took everything in, I tried to embrace the challenge and I just wanted to learn.”
