Speaking in pre-season, the Wolves boss revealed that his side would struggle to reject a significant bid for the Portugal international.
He said: “I know how good he is, and I know how well he would do at a big club. Obviously I want our team here to be unbelievably successful. So I’m hoping that he stays.

But of course, we’re all grown-ups while you’re having them conversations. If a massive bid comes from a top club then no one is going to stand in Pedro’s way.”

Fulham have reportedly submitted a third bid for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

United are therefore willing to part ways with the McTominay if they receive an offer in the region of £30m.
