Wolves Agree to Sell Ricardo Pereira to Liverpool for £47.6M
Since a disgruntled Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Tottenham Hotspur a year ago, the Reds have been struggling to find a replacement at right back. They now have one locked in after agreeing to pay a £47.6M fee to Wolverhampton for the services of Ricardo Pereira. The transfer window is currently closed, so the player will not join Liverpool until January, but they were desperate to bolster their roster after finishing just 9th last season and missing out on the Champions League. For Wolves, this is an interesting decision. While Pereira has been excellent for them at right-back, so has Irishman Matt Doherty. And with the club's most promising academy prospects, 17-year-old Elliot Moore, also ready to break through at the same position, they're well positioned to sell Pereira for a massive fee.
This is the largest fee recouped for a player in Wolves history, eclipsing the record of £40M set by the transfer of William Carvalho to Manchester City back in July. The club has done excellent business this year, now in the green in "net spend" despite having been able to bring in the likes of Sessegnon, Chilwell, Gomez, Rice, Fekir and Felix this summer.
