Liverpool and Manchester United are leading the race to sign Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.
That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claims the Portuguese playmaker ‘has his heart set’ on a move away from Molineux after contract talks broke down with the Midlands-based club.
Interestingly, although Barcelona are understood to be long-time admirers of Wolves’ number eight, the Catalan side’s financial constraints are making a deal difficult to conclude, and that has opened the door for both Liverpool and Manchester United to make a summer approach.
Liverpool are looking to reinvent their midfield with the likes of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain likely to depart and Manchester United will probably need at least one new arrival to fill the void left by Marcel Sabitzer, who is set to return to Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
As for Neves, with his deal at Wolves set to expire next summer and after failing to extend his contract, Wolves will be forced into negotiating a fee this year or risk losing him for free in just over 12 months’ time – something they’ll surely want to avoid.
