Wolves eye Sporting star, price tag set at €20 million | OneFootball

Rui Borges is desired by Wolverhampton's management for the position of head coach, following the dismissal of Vítor Pereira. Poor results led to the departure of the former Porto coach on the morning of this Sunday, November 2nd, and the Sporting coach is the favorite for succession.

According to information from the British press, Rui Borges is "highly regarded throughout Europe" thanks to his recent work at Alvalade, but to hire the coach, it is necessary to meet the release clause set by Frederico Varandas at 20 million euros.

However, according to the newspaper Record, Rui Borges dismisses any possibility of moving to the Premier League. The Sporting coach does not want to hear proposals from Wolverhampton, being fully focused on winning the National Championship three times in a row.

Gary O'Neil is one of the names alongside Rui Borges, potentially returning to the Wolves. Even so, the Sporting coach seems to be the preferred choice of the Molineux club's management, which is experiencing a severe sports crisis.

Currently, Wolverhampton is at the bottom of the Premier League, having not secured any victories in the 2025/26 season. Over 10 matches, the Wolves have only managed two points, resulting from two draws and eight losses, and are on the path to relegation.
