Stoke City transfer news from StokeontrentLive as the club prepares for the 2023/24 Championship season
Stoke City will sign goalkeeper Matija Sarkic from Wolves after the clubs agreed a £1.25m transfer fee.
The deal also includes bonuses and a sell on clause, reports the Telegraph.
Sarkic, aged 25, spent the second half of last season on loan at the bet365 Stadium, his third loan in three seasons. He showed glimpses of his potential at Stoke before his campaign was virtually ended by a quad injury in a 5-1 win at Sunderland in early March.
The keeper has been expected to move on since Wolves brought in Tom King on a free transfer from Northampton to be back up keeper to Jose Sa and Daniel Bentley, although Sa has subsequently been linked with interest from Nottingham Forest.
Sarkic has been at Wolves since being released by Aston Villa in July 2020 and has made only three appearances for them, spending most of his time away from Molineux. He was on loan at Birmingham in the 2021/22 campaign but had his season ended by a shoulder problem after 23 games.
Stoke have also been linked with Wolves centre back Dion Sanderson and right back Ki-jana Hoever who could both move on this summer. Sanderson is also wanted by Birmingham while Hoever impressed on loan at Stoke last season.
