Former Celtic defender Daniel Majstorovic is being eyed as a potential new sporting director for Wolves.

In a move that would increase Jorge Mendes' influence at Molineux, the super agent has held talks with Majstorovic about the role.

The duo are understood to have met in Belgium last week where AEK Athens faced Club Brugge in the Europa League.

Swede Majstorovic, 40, who had two years at Celtic between 2010 and 2012, is AEK Athens' sporting director.

Roma's highly-regarded new director of football Monchi wanted to take Majstorovic to work alongside him in Italy.

Mendes is a close associate of Wolves' Chinese owners Fosun and they appointed his client, former Porto boss Nuno Espirito, as manager this summer.

He has also been involved in a number of signings including Helder Costa, Ivan Cavaleiro, Silvio, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and their big £15.8million club-record coup Ruben Neves.

Paul Lambert left Wolves largely because of how much of a say Mendes was having in player recruitment.

And any move for a new sporting director has the potential to cause more unrest as Kevin Thelwell currently holds the position.
