Fosun could save £25m, 26 y/o star not needed: Big news emerges out of Wolves - opinion

The news surrounding Pedro Neto and his contract at Wolves could end up having an impact on both Adama Traore and Bruno Lage.

Having suffered a pretty major injury towards the back end of last season, the Portuguese winger, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Wednesday has slowly been making his way into the first-team picture at the club, making his fourth appearance and first start in their most recent Premier League game.

As a birthday present, and perhaps as a show of faith in how much of an impact they think he can still have at the club, it was announced that he has signed a new deal at Molineux that will tie him down until 2027.

He appears to be doing a lot better there than he was in England, having already registered four assists in just seven games, more than he had managed in the previous season and a half at Molineux.

Reports in Spain have suggested that the Catalan outfit want to sign him permanently, and if Wolves make it clear that they don’t need him anymore now that Neto is back in the fold, a sort of ‘one in, one out’ policy considering how long Neto has been out of action, that might make it easier to bring his time at the club to an end if the club believe that he can fill Traore’s spot in the side.
