Wolves seal deal for £16m Rui Patricio

Euro 2016-winner Patricio arrived at Molineux in the summer on a four-year deal after terminating his own contract with the Lisbon club, where he made more than 300 appearances.

He did so in response to an apparent attack by 50 of their own supporters at the end of the season when the team missed out on Champions League football and, as he was a free agent, Wolves did not pay a fee.

Sporting soon announced their intention to receive compensation though, initially stating they wanted £50m. They have now settled for 18m euros. Wolves issued a statement, which said Wolves have reached an agreement that will see Sporting Clube de Portugal receive a fee of €18m for the transfer of goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

"Wolves now consider the matter finalised and will make no further comment."
