talkSPORT reporter hints "loyal" 211-game Wolves star could now make Molineux exit

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves is unlikely to stay at the club this summer after the Midlands outfit failed to qualify for Europe, according to TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

Bruno Lage’s side have threatened a top-seven finish for the majority of this season, but they are now set to end the campaign outside the European places.

When Wolves beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park on March 13, it seemed that they had a good chance of securing a European spot.

However, their results have quickly gone downhill since then as they have picked up just one win from their last eight fixtures.

Five points from a possible 24 is a bitterly disappointing return, and they were held to a 1-1 draw by already-relegated Norwich on Sunday.

This has left them five points behind West Ham, who currently occupy the final European place, with just one game to go, meaning that Wolves cannot overhaul the Irons heading into the last weekend of the season.

Neves has remained loyal to Wolves over the past five years, and has made 211 appearances during this time.

Crook expects him to move on this summer, though, especially after the Premier League club missed out on Europe.

When asked about the chances of Neves remaining at Wolves beyond this summer, Crook told GIVEMESPORT: “I think slim. I think he had big clubs chasing him in January, Barcelona and Manchester United. He stayed loyal. Obviously, they’ve ended up missing out on Europe, which is a blow for him, and they need a rebuild.”

It seems that way.

Even if Wolves had qualified for the Europa League or Europa Conference League, they may have struggled to retain Neves’s services, particularly
