Rui Patricio has become one of the most expensive goalkeepers of all time after Wolverhampton Wanderers have agreed a deal with Sporting.
Wolves tend to keep their transfer figures undisclosed, but on this occasion they announced publicly that they’ve agreed to pay Sporting £16million for the 30-year-old.

It is still a lofty fee for a goalkeeper and Patricio has become the 12th most expensive goalkeepers of all time. This summer, Thibaut Courtois left Chelsea to join Real Madrid for £35 million, Alisson Becker joined Liverpool for £65 million, and Kepa Arrizabalaga moved to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for £71 million.
Some of the Wolves fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction after the news broke out. Many feel that Wolves have secured a bargain deal at that price.
Worth every penny
