Premier League newcomers Wolverhampton Wanderers face a challenge with Neves and Jota as Serie A champions Juve reportedly cast admiring glances.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have some of the most promising young talents around on their books right now so they should get used to interest from elsewhere.
And according to Calciomercato, Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota are earning admiring glances from one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in European football – Juventus.
Neves and Jota both starred as Wolves stormed to the Championship title last season. The former established himself as one of the most gifted players to play in England’s second tier this side of the century while the latter scored 14 goals, finishing as Wolves’ top scorer.
It is reported that Juve have been following Neves since his time in Portugal with FC Porto. Jota, however, is a new name on their hit-list.
And, worryingly for Wolves, Jorge Mendes appears to be forming a relationship with the current Serie A champions. The Portuguese super-agent was obviously central to Cristiano Ronaldo’s big-money move to Turin while another of his clients, Joao Cancelo, is also wearing the famous black and white stripes this season.
So while Mendes has been instrumental to bringing such huge talents to Wolves, the downside is that he can also take them away.
Thankfully, however, Neves committed his future to the club with a new long-term deal this summer while Jota only recently made his loan move from Atletico Madrid permanent.
