Wolves winger departing for Portugal move
Wolves winger Chiquinho has left the club on a permanent deal to return to Portugal.
The 25-year-old, who joined from Estoril in January 2022 for £3million, has returned to his homeland to join top flight side Alverca, who earned promotion last season.
Chiquinho had one year left on his deal but Wolves have allowed him to leave on a free transfer, alongside a 50 per cent sell on clause, and Wolves hold a buy back clause for a set fee.
The forward made a promising start to life at Wolves in the second half of the 2021/22 season with nine appearances in all competitions and three assists, which all came in the Premier League.
But he suffered a terrible blow that summer when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his knee in a pre-season friendly against Burnley.
That kept him out of action for the whole season and he returned in the summer of 2023 when he joined Stoke on loan but he lasted just four games before falling out with Potters manager Alex Neil and he was recalled by Wolves before joining Famalicao.
Chiquinho was given a chance to impress Gary O'Neil last summer and stayed with Wolves during pre-season, but was eventually sent to Spain on loan with Mallorca.
A difficult season saw him play just nine times in all competitions.
He has now left Wolves having made just 11 appearances in total.
