The huge chunk of cash comes on top of the £16m the club had already received from the Elland Road side for Costa, and the £15m they got from the Cottagers for Cavaleiro.

It is understood Wolves have been handed around £5m extra for each winger after Leeds clinched the Championship title and Fulham won the play-off final.

A boost to the transfer kitty, it represents a great piece of business for the club, who had already made a profit on both Portuguese players.

Costa arrived at Molineux in 2017 from Benfica for £13m while fellow forward Cavaleiro was bought for £7m from Monaco.

The bonuses take the money Wolves have received for both players to just over £40m.
