Wolves ‘could shove’ €50m-rated man, player was ‘about to sign’ for Barca but ‘rejected’ them

|

According to AS, Wolverhampton Wanderers ‘could shove’ Pedro Neto for €50m this summer and one team that may be keeping an eye on the 20-year-old are Barcelona. The Spanish giants were ‘about to sign’ Neto ‘two seasons ago’, but he ‘rejected’ a move and joined SS Lazio on loan instead.

Which club did Wolves sign Raul Jimenez from?

Neto went on to spend two years in Italy and turned the move permanent in 2019 before signing for Wolves just months later. The Portuguese U21 international has gone on to make 38 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals with four assists.

He’s played a lot of games but hasn’t actually amassed a lot of minutes on the pitch – Nuno Espirito Santo has handed Neto 786 minutes of Premier League football, 402 in the Europa League, 161 minutes in the FA Cup and 160 in the EFL Cup.

The 20-year-old has averaged a goal or assist every 167.6 minutes, so it’s not surprising that he’s being linked with a move away from Wolves. Neto has four more years on his contract at Molineux, so the Midlands outfit aren’t under any obligation to cash in.

AS say Wolves may sell for €50m amid interest from clubs in England, Italy and Spain, but it remains to be seen if that happens.

    What rubbish this article is.He is twenty years old the bright futures his and he aint going anywhere. If you were a gamblingman you would be broke if you had bet he was leaving this or next season

    Yet another ridiculous claim from the media who seem to be desperate for headlines. First we have Traore then Jimenez, then Neves and now Pedro Netto. What a load of rubbish we are building a squad capable of a consistent challenge at the head of both Premier League and Europe and have no desire or need to sell our best players.Take note that small club you often refer to is growing up fast so get used to it
