โWolverhampton Wanderersย defenderย Roderick Miranda has joined Greek side Olympiacos on a season-long loan move ahead of the new season.
The 27-year-old centre back only moved toย Molineux last season but he made 19 appearances across all competitions during the club's promotion campaign.
Miranda is a product of S.L. Benfica's infamous academy in Lisbon. However, the former Portugal Under-20 international had to wait until a free transfer toย Rio Ave before making a name for himself in the top flight - otherwise known as theย Primeira Liga orย Liga NOS for sponsorship reasons.
The defender made 94 appearances for Rio Ave before putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with Wolves last summer, costing theย West Midlands side roughly ยฃ2.7m.
Miranda has proved to be one of Wolves' only Portuguese recruits who haven't hit the ground running in England. The likes ofย Ivan Cavaleiro,ย Hรฉlder Costaย and Ruben Neves have been hits at the club since their arrival.
And Wolves ethos of raiding the Portuguese first division has come to fruition once again this summer.ย Rui Patrรญcio andย Raรบl Jimรฉnez are two of the club's new arrivals, while former loanees Diogo Jota, Willy Boly andย Lรฉo Bonatini have joined permanently.
The news ofย Miranda's departure comes just one day after the club announced that managerย Nuno Espรญrito Santo, as well as his coaching staff, had signed a new three-year contract that will keep them atย Molineux until 2021.
