Wolves have held talks with the Football League over the involvement of “super-agent” Jorge Mendes, following a number of complaints from Championship rivals.

Shaun Harvey, the EFL’s chief executive, has met with Wolves officials to discuss the relationship between the club’s owners, Fosun, and Mendes.

A subsidiary of Fosun owns a share of Mendes’s agency Gestifute and clubs including Leeds and Aston Villa have raised concerns over the link-up, as revealed by the Daily Telegraph earlier this month.

Mendes has clients at Molineux including head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota and Helder Costa, with Wolves’s rivals arguing that it breaches rules on third-party ownership.

Wolves are adamant they have not broken any rules and reiterated their position to Harvey in the recent meeting at Molineux.

It is understood that Wolves are also putting together a detailed response in writing to the EFL, to address the concerns raised by other Football League clubs.

Wolves are six points clear at the top of the Championship and face Middlesbrough on Good Friday.
