Mais Futebol, a Portuguese news source, now reporting Wolves will sign Ruben Semedo, pending 'final details of bureaucratic issues', for €10-12m.
Wolverhampton is negotiating the hiring of Rúben Semedo. The Maisfutebol know the English emblem is resolving final details of bureaucratic issues before closing the negotiations with the central Olympiakos.
Now represented by Gestifute, the Portuguese international has expressed in recent days a strong interest in being traded in the summer market, especially after the Greek team has failed to access the group stage of the Champions League.
Semedo, which has a contract in force until June 2023 with the Greeks, is valued at approximately 15 million euros, but the transfer should be carried out between 10 and 12 million euros.
Aged 27, Rúben Semedo has been with Olympiakos since 2019/20, having previously represented Sporting, Villarreal, Huesca and Rio Ave. In Greece, he won three titles, two of which in Leagues.
A controversial signing if it materialises given his history, as he's currently serving an 8 year ban from entering Spain for charges of attempted murder and kidnapping in late 2017. He has apparently changed a great deal since then, and knows Jose Sa and Daniel Podence from his time at Olympiakos. If he didn't have such a chequered history, no chance Wolves are getting him at this price, with his obvious quality not in question. I'm not entirely sure how he gets a work permit, but I assume it must be possible based on these negotiations.
