Sarabia, 33, joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2023.

He scored eight goals in 77 games, twice winning the club's Goal of the Season award.

Sarabia confirmed last week he was to leave the Midlands after just over two years.
He wrote on Instagram: "Two and a half seasons ago, I had the chance to become part of the Wolves family and experience a league as competitive as the @premierleague.
"It's been an exciting challenge, and even though we went through tough moments, we reached our goals — thanks to the unity between the club and the fans.
"Now it's time to start a new chapter, taking with me some amazing memories from a club that my family and I will never forget. "

Man Utd gave Zinedine Zidane a blank cheque to take over as manager.. he's not in it for money, says Premier League icon
Zin and Zang Man Utd gave Zinedine Zidane a blank cheque to take over as manager.. he's not in it for money, says Premier League icon Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ZINEDINE Zidane rejected a blank cheque to join Manchester United as manager, according to his old team-mate. Former Chelsea centre-back Marcel Desailly also adamantly revealed that Zidane is NOT driven by cash - which is something the ex-Ballon d'Or winner proved this week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Zinedine Zidane has not worked as a manager since his time at Real Madrid Credit: Getty 3 Marcel Desailly revealed that Zidane turned down a 'blank cheque' from Man Utd Zidane has been approached by some of the biggest clubs in the world since quitting Real Madrid after failing to win a trophy in 2021. The World Cup icon was heavily linked with a move to Man Utd before, during and after Erik ten Hag's rollercoaster two years. One of the reasons he supposedly turned Old Trafford chiefs down was becasue he didn't feel confident speaking English. A few years on and ahead of the upcoming 32-team Club World Cup, Zizou was offered an eye-watering £84million to commit to a one-year contract at Saudi Pro League runners-up Al-Hilal. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS LIONESS LOVE SPLIT England's Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married gym trainer And his former team-mate Desailiy has revealed how difficult it is for club's to persuade him to join, and where he's likely to go next. Desailly said: "Will Zinedine Zidane be tempted by Saudi Arabia? "Well he had a blank cheque on the table from Chelsea and a blank cheque from Manchester United and turned them down. "He isn't in it for the money. I don't see why money will change anything, I know privately that he won't change his lifestyle. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "He likes to travel and always keeps an eye on the France national team. He's ready because Didier Deschamps has started the transition. "France will be one of the favourites for the World Cup and win or lose it's not the end of this era for France." Zinedine Zidane suffers embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as he brings out Champions League trophy at Wembley Zidane is the only manager in the world to have won a staggering three Champions League titles in a row during his first spell with Real. And he followed that up by lifting two LaLiga titles during his second stint, having only managed the Spanish giants. Desailiy believes that Zidane is most attracted to the France job because they have a new generation of superstars, including Champions League hero Desire Doue. He added: Since 2016, France have been growing and growing. New players have come into the team constantly and now they have the right guys. "Rayan Cherki is one of them alongside Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe is still there and on top of his game. "There is a real dynamic. William Saliba is in defence with Ibrahima Konate, Bayern have Dayot Upamecano. "There is a squad and a philosophy and Zidane will know how to take that on to rebuild his own team. For another eight years at least France will be at the top level in Europe." Zidane made a £4MILLION investment into a new sport project in February, which turned out to be a new padel centre in France. 3 Zidane won three Champions League titles

‘What a mess' – England fans fume at Tuchel for bizarre experimental XI with Henderson picked over Rice vs Andorra
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ENGLAND fans have been left less than impressed by Thomas Tuchel's experimental starting lineup for the Three Lions clash with Andorra today. England take on Andorra in a World Cup qualifier at 5pm and Tuchel has decided to shake things up with an unusual XI. 6 Thomas Tuchel has chosen to start Jordan Henderson against Andorra Credit: Getty 6 Henderson will make his first start for England since November 2023 Credit: Getty The England boss has rested star midfielder Declan Rice in favour of Jordan Henderson from the off. Henderson, 34, makes his first start for the national team since November 2023. It's thought that Rice is being rested with a view to starting against Senegal on Tuesday evening instead. Other unusual choices appear to include Reece James starting at left-back and Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones being deployed as a make-shift right-back. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL LIONESS LOVE SPLIT England's Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married gym trainer Although, some have speculated that Jones could be playing in midfield with Tuchel opting to play a back three. Big names like Jordan Pickford, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer all start from the off too. While there's starts of Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, Morgan Rogers and Noni Madueke as well. Fans aren't keen on the unusual lineup and took to social media to vent their frustrations. 6 6 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS One wrote: "What a mess of an XI". While another added: "It's 2025 and Jordan Henderson is starting for England". Roy Keane leaves Ian Wright laughing after ITV pundit's joke about Thomas Tuchel following England's win over Latvia A third fumed: "That is horrific". And a fourth joked: "Can someone tell me the formation we're playing? I'm confused. Who is playing in defence?" There's no place in the starting lineup for Ivan Toney, who Tuchel has recalled to the England setup despite his controversial move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. While Bukayo Saka misses out on a place in the matchday squad entirely after struggling with an injury he suffered while with Arsenal. Saka is yet to feature under Tuchel after he withdrew from the German's first camp with injury too. Speaking on Friday, Tuchel said of Saka: "He came into camp with a little bit of discomfort from the last match against Southampton, so we took care of him and treated him individually until today basically. 'It was the first training session that he started and finished with the group. Yesterday, he started with the group but did not finish with the group, so let's see. "I'm not sure if we take the risk for tomorrow's game. "The decision has not been taken, but he will be available for the Senegal match, and he plays a major role in our thoughts how to build a competitive team. 'I think just that he grew in his personality with every season that he played so consistently for his club, and the club grew with him and became so competitive." 6 Ivan Toney starts on the bench for England Credit: PA

Kylian Mbappe snubs Mo Salah as he announces his vote in this year's Ballon d'Or
Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal are both in the running for the Ballon d'Or and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has now revealed who his vote is going to go later this year Kylian Mbappe believes Mohamed Salah is NOT in the running for this year's Ballon d'Or after confirming his pick for this year's top prize. The 2025 award already has a number of front-runners following a host of stunning campaigns. Ousmane Dembele is among the favourites after a season in which he scored 33 goals as Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the first time. Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is also among the contenders after a brilliant season for the Spanish giants. Liverpool star Salah is also in the conversation after a standout personal campaign as the Reds lifted the Premier League title. But Mbappe neglected to mention the Egyptian as he revealed who his vote would go to right now - albeit he has warned that he could still change his mind. As quoted by RMC Sport, he said: "Would I vote for Dembélé? Yes. Is there really any need to explain? We're talking about Yamal and Dembélé, I'm going for Dembélé. It's very clear! "Things are evolving very quickly, as the last few winners have shown. We weren't talking about certain players who ultimately won. Is it September? A lot will happen between now and then, but today we're talking about Ousmane and Lamine. That's why I responded." Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has also recently given his verdict on the Ballon d'Or and specifically Yamal. He believes that it is slightly too early to put that kind of pressure on him but thinks the Barcelona man is firmly in the running. Speaking at a Portugal press conference, Ronaldo said: "Lamine Yamal is doing very well, he is taking full advantage of his talent. Now let the kid grow and don't put too much pressure on him. Let him be and let him grow well, take the pressure off him. He has no shortage of talent." He added: "The individual awards have lost some consensus; I can't say anything about who should win. In my opinion, those who stand out and win the Champions League should win. But there is no consensus. 'I don't believe much in individual awards because I know what goes on behind the scenes. Lamine could win, like Dembele or Vitinha, other emerging players… But individual awards are irrelevant." The Ballon d'Or 2025 will be handed out in September in a glitzy ceremony in Paris, with the nominees set to be confirmed a month before. Manchester City midfielder Rodri is currently the holder having claimed last year's award. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
