Pedro Neto is set to depart from Wolves in the upcoming summer transfer window, and the Premier League club is seeking a record-breaking fee for the talented 23-year-old forward.
Wolves will demand an amount surpassing the £53m they received from Manchester City for Matheus Nunes last summer. It is anticipated that any potential buyer interested in the Portuguese winger will need to shell out over £60m, according to The Standard.
Arsenal has emerged as one of the teams expressing interest in Neto, with Mikel Arteta being a long-standing admirer of the young player. The Gunners are expected to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2024/25 season. The report also mentions that Tottenham and Liverpool are among the clubs eyeing the winger, potentially leading to a competitive race for his signature in the summer.
Football Transfers reports that Neto’s price tag during the summer transfer window is estimated to be around €93m. Whether or not the aforementioned clubs are willing to meet this valuation remains to be seen.
As per the Daily Mail, Wolves are compelled to sell Neto in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. The funds generated from his sale could be utilized to revamp Gary O’Neil’s squad for the upcoming campaign.
Despite his impressive form this season, Neto’s injury history raises concerns. The Portuguese star was sidelined for nearly a year between April 2021 and February 2022 due to a significant knee injury. Since then, he has recovered from two minor setbacks to his ankle and hamstring.
