Wolves have begun searching for goalkeeper replacements with a host of Saudi Arabian sides wanting to secure Jose Sa’s exit from the club, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old extended his stay at Molineux after signing a fresh four-year contract in September that also boasts a one-year extension option.<\/p>\n
However, Saudi Pro League sides are keen to try and secure his services as they continue their recruitment drive targeting Premier League players.<\/p>\n
Should he move then Sa would be joining a cohort of former Wolves players who swapped England for the Middle East, with previous club captain Ruben Neves one of the biggest names to leave the English top-flight in favour of a \u00a347m transfer to Al Hilal.<\/p>\n
Sa would be in store for a huge pay increase if he moves to the oil-rich nation and Wolves want to recoup around \u00a340m for the Portugal international, as reported by The Sun.<\/p>\n

Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa is reportedly being pursued in a \u00a340m deal by Saudi Arabian sides<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sa has played every minute of Wolves’ Premier League campaign so far this season<\/p>\n

However, his departure could unhinge some of the positive progress being made under head coach Gary O’Neil who has trusted Sa between the sticks for every Premier League game this season.<\/p>\n
His experience has provided a key foundation for Wolves to build on with their recent wins over Man City and Tottenham giving them a 10-point gap to the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Wolves have began identifying for replacements to fit into Gary O’Neil’s (pictured) side<\/p>\n
Wolves\u2019 goalkeeping coach Neil Cutler has already started identifying potential replacements in the wake of Saudi Arabia’s pursuit of Sa.<\/p>\n
It is likely that some of money recouped on Sa would be used to bring in a new shot-stopper with back-up goalkeeper\u00a0Dan Bentley the only recognised senior number one if Sa leaves.<\/p>\n
Sa joined Wolves in a \u00a36.25m switch from Greek side Olympiacos two-years ago as a then-replacement for fellow Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio.<\/p>\n
He has since made 88 appearances for the club and conceded 117 goals in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
