The forward is playing since July 2019 for Wolverhampton, when the Premier League signed him after paying $40 million to Benfica.

His actual value, according to specialized website Transfermarkt is of $45 million and in this context of crisis and COVID-19 pandemic it is hard to think that a club will be paying that amount of money for a signing.
