Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly decide to join the race to sign Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio, who is likely to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer.

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.
