Wolves have agreed a deal with Besiktas to sell defender Emmanuel Agbadou this month, according to Santi Aouna.
The Molineux club have had a terrible season so far and sit rock bottom of the Premier League with just seven points from their 21 games so far, ahead of a clash with Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
But the club have now agreed a deal with the Turkish giants that will see them one centre-back short for that game, with only the final details remaining before a deal is complete and all paperwork is finalised just 12 months after his arrival in the Premier League.
Wolves Agree Deal to Sell Agbadou
Agbadou, who was brought in last January by Vitor Pereira to help battle against relegation, has been a regular this season with 11 starts in the top flight and a further two appearances off the substitutes bench.
But his last appearance came in the 2-1 defeat against Arsenal, before he headed to AFCON with the Ivory Coast, where he played against Gabon. However, it now seems as though he has played for the club for the final time, with a move to Turkey all but agreed.
Besiktas have agreed a deal worth €11.5m (£10m) to sign the 28-year-old, and the player has already agreed to the move, bringing an end to his time in the Midlands. There are final details to be clarified before the deal is completed.
Wolves Planning for Championship
While Wolves are battling against the drop, there is an heir of accepting the fact they will be relegated this season, and they’ve started to figure out how to save money ahead of it.
Agbadou’s absence is likely to be covered by the players Edwards has been using since his arrival, and the team are currently unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions after draws against Manchester United and Everton, and wins against West Ham and Shrewsbury.
The team have found a ryhthm, and a chance to bring in some cash for a player who isn’t really part of their plans makes a lot of sense at this stage, rather than waiting until the summer and potentially missing out on money they could have earned.
