Transfer Rumours - July 9

The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets. They do not reflect the views of the Express and Star.

Wolves

Reports in Portugal state that Sporting have filed a claim worth a whopping £48m for the loss of Rui Patricio to Wolves.

The Portugal number one made the move to Molineux after cancelling his contract at the continental club following a fan attack on the players during a training session last season.

Now Sporting reportedly want Wolves to pay the €45 release clause the stopper had at the club, whilst also demanding Patricio himself pay his remaining wages which he was contracted to at the club.

Meanwhile, Wolves continue to hold a reported interest in Ben El-Mhanni, who is available on a free move after leaving Newcastle United.

The winger is also reportedly being monitored by Watford, Leeds, Besiktas and Sporting.

Lazio and Benfica are two sides recently reported to be considering a move for the pacey winger.

West Brom

Reports claim that West Brom forward Nacer Chadli is of interest to Turkish side Besiktas.

The Belgian star is currently competing in the World Cup and has a big chance of making the final as his nation battles with France this week.

Chadli barely featured last season through injury, and is expected to move on this summer following the club's relegation.

Meanwhile, former Albion loanee Ali Gabr has secured a transfer this summer, after failing to feature at The Hawthorns during his temporary spell.

The Egyptian defender has made the move to Pyramids FC from Zamalek.

The 29-year-old joined permanent Albion defender Ahmed Hegazi with the Egypt national side in Russia for the World Cup, but they failed to progress into the knockout stages.

Aston Villa

Newcastle United could reportedly turn their attention to Aston Villa winger Albert Adomah, if they give up on trying to sign Andros Townsend.

Adomah was hugely influential for Steve Bruce's side last season, scoring 14 goals from the left wing.

But with Villa struggling with FFP regulations, they need to sell some of their prized assets, and Adomah could be one of the players they move on.

Steve Bruce is willing to take a financial hit by selling Ross McCormack for a bargain price, according to reports.

The Scot has had a high-profile falling out with Bruce, and is seemingly not in the boss's plans, even with his promising record in the second tier.

Villa paid big money for the ex-Fulham striker, but with his high wages adding to the club's financial issues, a cheap deal to see him depart would now reportedly be considered.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
