Stuttgart had made an offer of 13.5 million euros in the summer, but they are now largely outpaced in the race for Emmanuel Agbadou's transfer. An agreement in principle has been reached between Reims and Wolverhampton for a transfer fee estimated around 20 million euros, with Agbadou expected to continue his career in England. The transfer discussions have been orchestrated behind the scenes by the agency of Jorge Mendes.
