No doubt Wolves hoping to find the next Joao Felix

But then why would Porto sell for comparative buttons in today's market? No doubt there's a hefty sell on clause

Because they probably only “own” a percentage of his rights. It was the same with Neves where Mendes owned a portion of the rights of the player and his fee was quite low. They are playing the long game where the player may eventually move for big money and all parties benefit.

In addition Porto benefits from his players going there so the even though the lower transfer fee seems odd they don’t want to **** with Mendes

Wouldn't surprise me if we went in for him next summer (depending on how our finances improve).

Surprised nobody mentioned this - this guy is unreal in the football manager world but he has only 3 goals in senior football. Another Mendes players goes to Wolves and the rest of the Portuguese lads......

Big gamble and will be v interesting to see how it pans out

He's been doing it with Portuguese teams, Atelti and Valencia among other teams for years.

It's nothing when you consider he transferred Joao Cancelo to Valencia for €15-20m when he was 19 and had only made 1 first team appearance for Benfica. I think Andre Gomes was similar and he had only played half a season of football. These were pre-Neymar's move too.

Those worked out but it can easily go the other way - 12m for Thierry Correia without really playing for Sporting and has looked **** in Spain on the rare occasion he gets on the pitch.
