Matheus Cunha appears to have signalled the end of his Wolves career with gifts to two of his team-mates, with the Brazilian set to join Man United in a £62.5million move.
Cunha has agreed terms over a five-year contract with the option of an additional year, and could travel to Manchester for a medical this week once United make a formal approach to Wolves.
However, United have yet to activate the clause in Cunha's contract which has to be paid in three instalments of £20.85m over two years.
Cunha's fellow Brazilian team-mates Joao Gomes and Andre revealed on social media that they had been gifted Rolex watches by outgoing attacker, with an apparent departing message.
‘Thank you for all the moments, you will always be in my heart,' Cunha wrote to Gomes.

Gomes shared the image of the Rolex box and message from Cunha on social media.
‘I promised we wouldn't be relegated and he promised a Rolex!! A man of his word,' Gomes wrote.
‘This is worth a lot!! It is more valuable than any trophy or title, a sincere friendship. I love you my big friend, straight talk. Thanks for everything my bro.’
Gomes also shared footage of Andre discovering his Rolex in the Wolves changing room before embracing Cunha.
'He got involved in our agreement and nothing fairer than receiving one too @andre I love you brother,' Gomes added.
Andre also shared a photo of him warming up with Cunha during the season.
'I'm sure you will shine wherever you go, my friend,' Andre wrote. 'May God bless you and your family wherever you go.'
Cunha is set to become Man United's first summer signing and begin Ruben Amorim's rebuild
Man United would like to complete a deal for the 25-year-old Brazilian by the end of May, kicking off what is expected to be a busy summer of ins and outs at Old Trafford.
Cunha is likely to be given the No.10 shirt which currently belongs to Marcus Rashford who is set to leave Old Trafford after a loan spell at Aston Villa.
As well as signing Cunha to fill one of the two No.10 positions in his 3-4-3 system, Amorim has prioritised a striker and a midfielder.
However, he admitted on Sunday that he is limited by financial fair play rules after United missed out on a £100m Champions League windfall by losing the Europa League final to Tottenham last week.
Liam Delap remains the No.1 striker target but United face competition from a number of clubs – notably Chelsea – and will have other options.
