I’m over in Lisbon and Rui Patrico is all over the news
Something about a rescinded contract. With Sportomg Lisbon.
Has anybody got any idea what’s going on
 

How the hell have the Football authorities not come down on Wolves for their obvious financial connection to Mendes? Its an utter joke how they are able to basically have an influential agent as DOF.

Imagine if they won a big trophy / qualified for the top 4 over a media darling like Liverpool - how would the media try gloss over the fact Mr super agent has basically orchestrated them moves?

I dont think they'll ever achieve anything hence why they are signing crap like Afobe - however they are still cheating the system by doing enough to guarantee prem survival at the expense of another club.

From what I gather Wolves owners own a stake in Mendes' agency or some form of business Mendes runs.

Surely thats a red flag when said agent then starts sending his clients to said club on the cheap/on free transfers.

Yeah but you still havent explained why its a bad thing.

Its something that has happened in football since the Agents arrived, we have had many relationships with Agents over the years which has meant we get offered their clients first.

Im hearing a lot of sour grapes, but I personally dont see Wolves doing anything wrong.

Life has always been who you know, rather than what you know.
 
Today has been something of a soap opera, so before we share Gestifute’s comments hitting back at Bruno de Carvalho, let’s have a recap.

  • Portuguese newspaper Record published a big claim that Rui Patricio had yesterday been on the verge of a move to Wolves. A €18m fee was agreed, and it was claimed Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho then asked Wolves for an extra €2m and killed the deal.
  • Patricio then sent a 34 page document to cancel his Sporting contract, citing ‘just cause’.
  • Bruno held a press conference, blaming Jorge Mendes and saying Gestifute demanded a €3m payment (plus a further €4m from the deal which took Adrien Silva to Leicester City) to make the deal go through. He called Mendes’ actions a ‘crime’.
  • Patricio’s cancellation letter was then leaked, and part of it detailed how the goalkeeper has feared for his life after recent events at Sporting.

Now Gestifute have responded to De Carvalho’s claims, with Record quoting a spokesperson saying: “It was Sporting who came to us and asked for help in finding a solution for Rui Patricio.

“Gestifute was Sporting’s creditor but asked nothing of Sporting, at the same time they gave the guarantee they would settle old debts.”

Mendes’ agency also told Record they have full documentation to back up their position.
