Wolves boss Kenny Jackett revealed after his side's 2-1 win against Charlton that they had agreed to sell central defender Richard Stearman to Fulham.
Sky Bet Championship rivals Fulham are poised to pay £1m up front and £1m in add-ons for Stearman, who joined Wolves from Leicester in 2008.
Jackett, who was left counting the cost of Saturday's win after striker Nouha Dicko was stretchered off with a "serious" knee injury, said: "The club have accepted a bid from Fulham and Richard is discussing personal terms over the weekend.
"It is a football decision and we feel that we have some very good young centre-backs at the club. It give us the chance to strengthen other areas.
"Rajiv van La Parra is also in talks with two clubs over the weekend and we will see what the outcome of those talks is.
"We want to make these decisions early so we have the best possible chance going forward.
"Richard is a big call and for us to strengthen elsewhere we do feel that this is the right decision," added Jackett - who reaffirmed the club's decision to keep Benik Afobe after he had been the target of three bids from Norwich.
As for Dicko, Jackett said: "First impressions from the medical staff are that it seems like a serious knee injury. But we will assess it over the weekend."
Adam Le Fondre, with his first goal since arriving on a season-long loan from Cardiff, sealed Wolves' win five minutes from time after Dave Edwards' 65th minute header had cancelled out Charlton's opener from Johann Berg Gudmundsson 10 minutes earlier.
Despite the loss of Dicko, Jackett was pleased with a success which followed back-to-back defeats in the league.
He added: "I felt it was a deserved win. I thought we passed the ball very well and some of our play was excellent but we couldn't get that final ball or take the chances up and around the box in the first half.
"We went a goal behind slightly unluckily then I was delighted with the character of the team to come back after that. After two recent losses it was great to get three points going into the international break."
Gudmundsson stunned Wolves 10 minutes into the second half when he latched on to a pass from Igor Vetokele and beat goalkeeper Carl Ikeme with a low drive from the left hand edge of the area.
However, Charlton's advantage was short-lived when Edwards bundled the ball home from six yards after Charlton had failed to deal with a right-wing cross from Matt Doherty.
Edwards should then have headed Wolves into the lead but steered the ball over the bar, with Le Fondre also missing from close range before he made amends by turning home Sheyi Ojo's cross.
Charlton boss Guy Luzon was disappointed by the way his side lost their unbeaten record in the league and said: "Of course I am very disappointed because I am pleased with our performance especially in the second half.
"We played well and played positive football, we moved the ball well. We scored one and had a chance to score the second. In the second half we had an influence on the game and took possession.
"I changed the tactics a bit and played with three in the midfield and we played better. So I am very disappointed because I think that we deserved more then zero points. But it is part of the game and we continue."
Charlton were tormented throughout the game by Wolves winger James Henry, who was the target of a bid from them earlier in the summer.
He does not expect Henry to join Wolves but is not ruling out further transfer business, adding: "There is always expectation. If there is the quality of player and the financial side (in our favour) then we will do it - but if not we will continue with our squad."
