'To turn his head...' - Insider drops 'massive' Wolves transfer claim over 'next level' star

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves would only potentially leave the club this summer if a ‘massive offer’ is lodged, according to journalist Dean Jones.

There have been a number of strong performers for Bruno Lage’s side this season but Neves has stood out as one of the best, excelling in the middle of the park.

The 24-year-old has made 21 Premier League appearances, including 19 starts, and has averaged 2.2 tackles per game along with an 82.2% pass completion rate.

However, Neves has been linked with a move away this summer, with Manchester United arguably the front-runners at the moment.

Spaking to GiveMeSport, Jones, a ‘transfer insider‘, hinted that Neves was likely to stay put at Molineux, unless an enormous bid comes Wolves’ way.

The journalist stated: “It will take a massive offer to turn his head. He’s been very loyal in his time there. From the moment he joined the club, it was a huge show of faith.”

In truth, Wolves may have to accept that Neves may not be at the club forever, having been hailed as a ‘next level’ player by Lage in the recent past.

For now, though, it is crucial that they keep hold of such a prized asset, especially with fellow midfield hero Joao Moutinho turning 36 later in the year.

The control and quality that Neves brings in the middle of the park is so influential, and if he were to suddenly move on, it could leave a gaping void in a crucial area of the pitch, especially if Moutinho is phased out too.

Securing European football would certainly be a good way of ensuring that he stays, at least for another campaign or two.
