Wolves told to up bid for McLean

Peterborough striker Aaron McLean could cost Wolves in excess of £5m if they want to sign him.

Posh director of football Barry Fry insists the League One club want £3m up front for the 25-year-old, with a further £2m if Wolves are promoted.

"To let everyone know in Wolverhampton, we won't be letting him go for less than I've told you," Fry told BBC WM.

"Wolves are a proper club. They should be in the Premier League. If they bought Aaron he'd take them there."

"It's put up or shut up really, and go away"
Barry Fry warns Wolves

McLean scored 33 goals last season as Peterborough gained promotion from League Two, and might relish the chance to link up again with his former Grays Athletic team-mate Michael Kightly.

But Fry and the Peterborough board have resisted two initial offers from Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey.

"When I saw Jez last week we had a chat," said Fry. "I told him my chairman won't stand in the way, but he wants £3m up front, £2m if they get promoted, some add-ons and a sell-on.

"He said that's not going to happen, so I said that's the end of it. We won't let him go for any less. It's put up or shut up really, and go away."
