“There is now an agreement between the clubs, so I expect the transfer to happen in the next few days,” he said at a press conference.

Although he played 23 games in the Premier League, Arias did not adapt to English football, scoring only one goal. Edwards explained that the sale was strategic.

“No one would leave without our approval, or if we didn’t believe it was the right move for the future of this club.” For Wolves, the deal guarantees a profit of nearly £7 million in just six months.

The coach emphasized that the club had full control over the negotiation. “We wish him all the best. We believe this is the right decision,” said Edwards, who also confirmed the departure of defender Agbadou to Besiktas.
