"Destined to happen" - Journalist drops major Wolves claim on £60m star

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves is “destined” to play under Xavi at Barcelona, believes journalist Josh Holland.

The Portuguese maestro is thought to be attracting interest from the La Liga side, and Holland thinks it could be a good match.

Spanish outlet SPORT recently claimed that Neves dreams of playing for Barcelona, who are monitoring his situation at Wolves.

The 25-year-old midfielder is about to enter the final two years of his contract at Molineux, casting doubt over his future.

As well as Barcelona, Arsenal are also thought to be interested in Neves, with Sky Sports reporting last month that he is a top target for the north London club, who could be forced to pay up to £60m for his signature.

Meanwhile, manager Bruno Lage has suggested that his player could actually fetch £100m in this current climate.

Holland has told GIVEMESPORT that Neves is destined to join Barcelona and link-up with Xavi, who was a master in the Portugal international’s position during his playing days.

Speaking to GMS, the football journalist said: “The history and the name Barcelona, that’s pulling power in itself. And you look at what Xavi is doing at the club, there’s always going to be the whole if he goes and works with Xavi, how good will he be?

“No disrespect to Wolves, but you’d rather live in Barcelona than Wolverhampton. I think that’s more or less destined to happen.”

You can definitely see a player of Neves’ quality playing for a team like Barcelona, but it remains to be seen if the Spanish outfit can get a deal done in the upcoming transfer window.
