Wolves Set Record Transfer Fee for Pedro Neto as Arsenal and Tottenham Battle for His Signature
Pedro Neto, the talented young winger from Wolves, is in high demand as both Arsenal and Tottenham have expressed their interest in signing him. However, Wolves have made it clear that they will not let him go cheaply, demanding a record transfer fee for the 23-year-old.
Neto has been on Arsenal’s radar for quite some time now, with his impressive performances in the Premier League catching their attention. This season alone, he has already scored three goals and provided 10 assists in 18 games across all competitions. In the Premier League, he ranks among the top assist-makers, with eight assists to his name.
The Gunners see Neto as the perfect player to provide competition and cover for Bukayo Saka. His form has also attracted the interest of Tottenham, who are undergoing a revolution under manager Ange Postecoglou. Both clubs are eager to bolster their attacking options with a new right-winger.
Until now, Wolves have been reluctant to part ways with their prized asset, especially as they fight to avoid relegation. However, TalkSPORT reports that the club needs to offload several players this summer to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. This could open the door for Neto’s departure.
While Wolves may be willing to sell, they are not willing to let him go for anything less than a club-record fee. This means that any potential buyer will have to surpass the £53 million that Manchester City spent on Matheus Nunes last summer. It’s a hefty price tag for a player who still has a contract until 2027, giving Wolves little pressure to lower their asking price.
Tottenham will have the opportunity to scout Neto firsthand when they face Wolves in their next league game on Saturday. It will be a chance for Spurs to assess whether he is the right fit for their team.
For Arsenal and Tottenham, securing the services of Pedro Neto would be a significant boost to their attacking options. However, the battle for his signature will not come easy, as Wolves are determined to receive a record-breaking fee for their talented winger. It remains to be seen which club will be willing to meet their demands and secure Neto’s services.
