The striker has a \u00a316.5 million buy-out clause in his contract. Rondon could now have a decision to make; however, Wolves may be the more attractive proposition due to being in the Midlands and the club having ambitious plans for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"3EtUehGSRwpuB32uk2B6fA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1131054473\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'3EtUehGSRwpuB32uk2B6fA',sig:'teDZixNYT005S6hbJEwf-I9bW0QbqqPKdR48TCvykCA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1131054473',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s FTN looks at the latest news from the EFL.
