Wolverhampton Wanderers could be set to make a massive profit on Pedro Neto this summer with AS claiming that some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are interested in a £45 million-rated forward.
Wolves have done it again. They have pulled off another stroke of absolute genius in the transfer market.
A club who bought Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Rui Patricio, Diogo Jota and more for less than Burnley paid for Ben Gibson now have yet another exceptional, Iberian talent tearing honing his talents in old gold.
Eyebrows were understandably raised when Neto arrived at Molineux ahead of the 2019/20 season and with good reason.
The speedy little forward had only played eight senior games for Lazio and Braga, with that £16 million price-tag based on potential rather than any proven quality.
12 months on, however, reports in Spain suggest that Neto’s value has soared by a further £30 million.
And who can blame some of the biggest clubs in England, Italy and Spain for taking a closer look at a 20-year-old who turned his nose up at Barcelona in 2018?
Neto has produced an impressive nine goals and assists during his debut season at Wolves, with that scorching volley against West Ham showcasing a tantalising penchant for the spectacular.
AS claims that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side would consider selling Neto if they receive offers in and around the £50 million mark.
From a financial sense, accepting such a bid might make sense. From a sporting one, however, Neto has so, so much more to offer at Molineux.
