Wolves would apparently be more willing sellers than another Premier League club, as Tottenham Hotspur seek to make an attacking reinforcement this summer.
So far this summer, Wanderers have only sold one player.
Max Kilman completed a £40 million move to West Ham United a couple of weeks ago, which is a move that was been widely praised.
While Kilman is a solid centre-back, the feeling for many was that he was not irreplaceable.
Wolves netted a huge profit, having signed him for just £40,000 six years ago.
It is possible another big sale could be made this summer despite Kilman already leaving, and many feel Pedro Neto will be that player. He himself was reported to think that last November.
Yesterday, a new report dropped about Tottenham’s interest in the player, and the suggestion is that they could soon come calling.
Tottenham could move for Pedro Neto over Eberechi Eze, with Wolves more willing sellers
Give Me Sport have reported about Tottenham and their desire to bolster their attack this summer.
The north London club want to push for the Champions League in 2024/25, having missed out last term in their first season without Harry Kane.
Spurs are one of a few big clubs linked with Neto, who Wolves would like to keep but will also sell for the right price.
Spurs are also very interested in England international Eberechi Eze, who has been going from strength to strength at Selhurst Park.
He is a slightly different player to Neto positionally, but someone Spurs want just as much.
Journalist Ben Jacobs writes in Give Me Sport that Spurs could turn their attention to Neto as Wolves would be more willing sellers than Palace would be over Eze.
He says: “Spurs have Eberechi Eze on their list of options, but any deal is complicated. Eze has a £60m release clause which, like Michael Olise’s one was, is not routine to trigger.
“Percentages of it go to Crystal Palace, QPR (Eze’s former club) and the player himself. I’m told Eze ideally wants to stay in London, which is good news for Spurs, and even Arsenal should they enter the race.
“Palace still want to hang on to Eze, and Spurs could instead turn their attention to Pedro Neto. Wolves are slightly more willing sellers at the right price, but there won’t be much difference in the ballpark fee.”
Wolves in a strong position
So Spurs could soon come calling for Neto given their complicated pursuit of Eze, but Wolves are in a strong position over the player.
Wolves have already sold Kilman, bringing in a big fee. This puts less pressure on the club to cash in on Neto, so the club don’t need to settle for anything less than a huge fee. Apparently, Wolves would indeed be looking for around £60 million.
Wolves might be more willing sellers than Palace, but you get the feeling that Matt Hobbs will not be making it easy for Spurs if they do come in for the Portuguese winger.
It really is win-win for Wolves. If Neto leaves then it will be for big money, which can then be reinvested. And we have already seen Wanderers get on just fine without him.
If no one stumps up the cash, then Wolves get to keep a quality player.
