Wolves join race to sign Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio?

Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Patricio has spent his entire career at Sporting, starting with the youth team at 12 years old and going on to make a total of 464 appearances in the senior setup.

However, it was claimed last month that both Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli held an interest in the Portugal international, and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Wolves are ready to enter the race for the 30-year-old's signature.

Sporting have allegedly indicated that any interested clubs will have to meet Patricio's release clause of £30.66m, with the stopper still having over four years remaining on his contract.

That fee is unlikely to deter Wolves, however, with the West Midlands outfit having already been linked with a £35m move for Stoke City's Jack Butland.
