'Is genuine...' - Tim Spiers reacts to what he's heard about Wolves star's future

Reliable journalist Tim Spiers believes Ruben Neves could yet be torn over whether or not to leave Wolves this summer, after hearing his words on Sunday.

Wanderers were beaten 3-1 away to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, producing a good performance at Anfield on a dramatic final day of the Premier League season.

Neves started in the middle of the park, making his 33rd league appearance in an excellent campaign, in what may end up being his last-ever game for Wanderers.

The 25-year-old has been continually linked with a summer move to Barcelona and his head may have been turned by their interest, with reports even claiming it’s a move that’s ‘destined‘ to happen, but Spiers has shared a possible late twist…

Taking to Twitter after the Liverpool game, Spiers said that it could yet be an emotional issue for the player after hearing what he had to say:

“Neves says nothing decided but mentioned twice that careers are short and dreams need to be lived. ‘I don’t know how it’s going to be. If it was my last game it was really important.’ Clearly would be a wrench to leave. His affection for Wolves and the city is genuine.”

While it would be heartwarming to see Neves stay on at Molineux beyond this season, it still feels highly likely to he will find another club this summer, likely one that plays in red and blue in Catalonia.

At 25, he is coming into the absolute peak years of his career and he may simply feel that he has come as far as he can in a Wolves shirt, following five memorable years at the club.

If Neves does leave, he could be remembered as one of the best midfielders to ever play for the club, possessing such wonderful technique and also helping the club return to the Premier League.
