AS Roma are in talks with Wolves over a move for goalkeeper Rui Patricio, according to Sky Sports.

The publication is claiming that the club are demanding between £10m and £13m for the Portugal international. It’s significantly higher than the £6.9m Wolves were reportedly demanding in May. Jose Mourinho is keen on a move for the Euro 2020 ace.

Patricio has just one year left on his deal at Molineux Stadium having joined the club back in 2018. The 33-year-old shares an agent who works closely with the former Chelsea boss, Jorge Mendes.

The ace has been a solid part of Wolves since his move from Sporting CP. In his 127 appearances across all competitions, the figure has kept 37 clean sheets.

Matt Murray labelled him ‘Mr consistent‘.

However, amid the possible rebuild of the squad, it seems a backroom shuffle has already been undertaken.

Reports from Fabrizio Romano claimed that Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked by the Molineux Stadium outfit.

It proves an incredible claim after everything the 47-year-old did for Wolves.

Last term was a warning for the club, who desperately need a reset following a season of
