Talks ongoing as Wolves negotiate defender's sale

Talks are ongoing between Wolves and Besiktas over the sale of Emmanuel Agbadou, the Express & Star understands.

The Turkish club previously had an offer of a loan with an option to buy, with a total financial package of around £10.5million, rejected by Wolves.

They have now returned with a permanent offer of just over £12million, plus add-ons, and talks are under way.

Wolves are expected to negotiate further and demand more money, but the two clubs are in active talks and Agbadou's sale is likely to materialise this month.

The 28-year-old signed for Wolves just over a year ago in an initial £15million deal, rising to £16.6million, but he last played for the club on December 13 after taking part in the Africa Cup of Nations for the Ivory Coast.

He is now available to play for Wolves this weekend against Newcastle, but it remains to be seen if he is involved as a move away edges closer.
