In what will likely be our last article when it comes to Wolverhampton Wanderers and their signing of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, the fee the Premier League club are paying has been revealed.

The latest update from France was that an agreement had been found between Wolves and Strasbourg, but no numbers were given.

Well, Alsa’Sports rectify that on Friday, reminding everyone that the player had an exit pass granted to him by the club as long as they received €10m for him.

The website reveal that Wolves actually paid that and more, as they put €15m on the table to convince Strasbourg to let their star go.

This is corroborated by Santi Aouna for Foot Mercato, who claims the deal is ‘around €16m’, and the player could pass his medical in France before travelling to England.

Their bank account was a little bit flusher than expected after the sale of Matheus Nunes to Manchester City, and it seems they put that money to good use to get a transfer over the line.

Bellegarde is now expected to sign a five-year contract at Molineux, where he is likely to quickly become a very important part of Gary O’Neil’s squad.

Wolves will especially want him to continue his early season form, as he has two goals and two assists in three league games to date for Strasbourg.
