Wolves have reportedly agreed on a deal to sign Pablo Sarabia from PSG.

Wolverhampton are reported to have signed Pablo Sarabia from PSG until 2026.

The 30-year-old was a member of the Spanish squad in Qatar in 2022. Following an impressive season with Sevilla, he earned a move to PSG in the summer of 2019, but he failed to settle in Paris and is now set to move to England.

Wolves sign Pablo Sarabia

According to reports from the Wolves correspondent for Express and Star, Liam Keen, and the transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Wolves have agreed to sign Pablo Sarabia.

Wolves are expected to pay around £4.5 million to PSG for the services of Sarabia, who would sign for the next two and a half years.

The details are expected to be finalised this week, followed by an official announcement by the club.

Pablo Sarabia reunites with Julien Lopetegui

Pablo Sarabia signed for PSG on July 2, 2019, one day after Lopetegui joined Sevilla.

However, Lopetegui knows fully the type of player Sarabia is, as he was the manager of Real Madrid Castilla when Sarabia was coming up through the ranks at Madrid.

Sarabia joined PSG off the back of an impressive campaign with Sevilla, where he had 26 goal contributions in 33 LaLiga games while adding another 12 in 13 Europa League games, including qualifiers.

He struggled to establish himself as a mainstay in PSG's setup. He was loaned out to Sporting Lisbon, where he was impressive again, putting up 23 goal contributions in 29 league games and another three in eight Champions League games.

If Lopetegui can get the best out of Sarabia, Wolves would have a game-changing player on their hands.
