- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
HITC understands that the representatives of Pedro Neto are in talks with multiple clubs about a move this summer.
Wolves have already lost Max Kilman this summer with West Ham United signing the English defender for a fee in the region of £35 million.
Kilman was a vital player for Gary O’Neil’s side last season and he will be missed but the former Bournemouth manager could well be on the brink of losing another one of his key players this summer, a player he described as ‘incredible‘ back in September.
Sources have told HITC that Pedro Neto’s representatives are in talks with multiple clubs about a move but it is our understanding Wolves are under no pressure to sell.
Wolves’ stance on Neto sale explained
Wolves, having sold Kilman to the Hammers, do not need to raise funds and won’t sell unless their valuations are met for their key players – in Neto’s case, it is understood a fee in the region of £60 million will be required.
HITC understands that Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have both had talks in recent weeks – Neto is someone who both clubs have been following for a long time.
Spurs are understood to have also made an enquiry for West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen but the Hammers told the Lilywhites, in no uncertain terms, that he’s not for sale.
As for Newcastle, the club are keen on a new winger this summer and were one of the sides keen on Michael Olise, before the French winger decided to move to Bayern Munich.
Third Premier League side also keen on Neto
Another Premier League side who are understood to be keen on the Portuguese winger is Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea.
The Blues have certainly been busy this summer with the additions of Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Willian Estevao and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, whilst a deal for Boca Juniors defender Aaron Anselmino is understood to be close.
Chelsea retain an interest in the Portuguese winger and are being kept informed of the situation as they continue to look at potential right-wing additions this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also both understood to be long-term admirers of Neto too, and have a good relationship with his agent Jorge Mendes.
