News Britannia: Talisca to snub Liverpool move in favour of Wolves as Robin Li close to complete club’s takeover
The Brazilian striker is rumoured to be negotiating a transfer to Wolverhampton Wolves as Baidu’s founder Robin Li is close to acquire a majority share in the club for £ 40 million.
As our friends at Teamtalk point out, The seventh richest man in China could complete the club’s takeover in partnership with the powerful players’ agent Jorge Mendes, that’s why former Porto boss Julen Lopetegui has been lined up as a potential replacement of Kenny Jackett.
When it comes to ask a working visa, Premier League clubs have more chances to get one for their players, which is another reason why Talisca’s move to Wolves might not be out of this world.
