Transfer insider now drops intriguing Ruben Neves future claim at Wolves

Ruben Neves could face a ‘big decision’ over his Wolverhampton Wanderers future after garnering interest from a trio of clubs, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Neves chalked up his 200th Wolves appearance as Bruno Lage’s side recorded a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but there are question marks over his Molineux future.

Neves attracted interest from two of Wolves’ Premier League rivals during the January transfer window as, according to The Sun, Arsenal and Manchester United wanted to tempt him away from the West Midlands.

The report suggests the Portuguese’s current employers were open to allowing him to move onto pastures new if a bid in the region of £45million had been tabled ahead of the deadline, but neither side decided to test Wolves’ resolve.

Italian media outlet Calciomercato have claimed Neves is also being courted by Serie A giants Juventus ahead of a potential summer offer being lodged.

The 24-year-old still has more than two years remaining on his £58,000-per-week contract at Wolves, meaning Lage’s charges are in a strong negotiating position if any of Neves’ suitors attempt to prise him away from Molineux in a matter of months.

Lage, who was appointed as Wolves’ head coach last summer, clearly does not want to sanction his fellow countryman’s departure as he has previously revealed Neves is vital in taking the club to ‘the next level’.
