It is explained that Wolves’ deal for Willian Jose took up most of the finances they had to play with, meaning a move this window was not possible.

Interestingly, he isn’t actually a client of the Gestifute agency as many would expect, but having so many Portugese senior and youth internationals could well be a big lure for the player.

Carvalho has been with Betis since transferring from Sporting CP in 2018.
