A permanent deal for Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio remains on track.

The Mirror says Sporting and Wolves are close to reaching an agreement over a compensation figure for goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

The Portugal No.1 was one of nine players to terminate his contract following an alleged attack on players by the club's own supporters.

Patricio signed for Wolves in June on a free transfer after an £18million deal collapsed, inking a "long-term deal" at Molineux.

Sporting, under ex-president Bruno de Carvalho, would complain to FIFA, demand £48million and accuse Patricio of breaching his contract.

But under new president Frederico Varandas, a £15million deal is close, with Patricio waiving a loyalty bonus according to reports in his homeland - despite a complete breakdown in his relationship with De Carvalho.
