Wolves transfer news: 'A lot of big clubs' want £40m Molineux star

The summer could be interesting in regards to Ruben Neves' future at Wolves, says talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook. 

The 24-year-old was linked with a move away from Molineux last month, and Crook has hinted at a potential transfer in the summer amid big club interest.

The Sun claimed that Manchester United were determined to sign Neves in the last transfer window, but the Portuguese midfielder remained at Wolves in the end.

According to them, Wolves wanted around £40m for Neves, with the former Porto man understandably rated very highly at Molineux.

He has been excellent for the Midlands club since arriving from the Estadio do Dragao back in 2017, helping them to win promotion to the Premier League and stay there.

In the words of one former Wolves player, Dave Edwards, Neves is "getting better every season".

Currently, the Portugal international is averaging 57.2 passes per game, the most in Bruno Lage's squad (via WhoScored).

The Frenchman's contract is set to expire and there are so far no indications to suggest that he will
