Ruben Neves is causing a lot of talk about a transfer, but Molineux intends to charge a high price.
What did Lage say about Ruben Neves?
Arsenal and Man Utd have been closely linked with the Wolves player for some time now, but Bruno Lage told them Ruben Neves would be worth around £100m. Nine-figure asking prices are increasingly common in modern football, with Grealish breaking the UK transfer record when moving to Man City for a fee of this size in the summer of 2021. Declan Rice is reportedly worth a similar figure at West Ham, which means that at Molineux, any suitors of classy playmaker Neves will be digging deep to oust him.
Wolves head coach Bruno Lage told reporters about the reported interest in one of his key players that he doesn’t know if it’s Man Utd or other teams, he knows they have a special player here with them. According to Bruno, what Ruben Neves is doing this season is very good. Bruno thinks that also the way they play he can bring out the best Ruben and also the way he plays brings them out command to another level.
When they have this player, the best thing is to improve his salary and years of contract. But according to Bruno Lage who knows when they have the best player like him in this particular position who can defend and attack and is a top pro and a great person, big teams are out there with £100m to buy these players.
A little about Ruben Neves
The Wolves currently have Ruben tied to a contract through 2024, but he’s been hard at work behind the scenes to set up an extension. Fresh conditions would help fend off unwanted interest from afar, with Arsenal and Man Utd expected to be in the midfield reinforcements market this summer. For now, Ruben is ignoring the speculation he continues to generate as he finds himself stuck on the sidelines.
Ruben Neves is nursing a knee injury that has kept him out of action since March 18, with the Portuguese facing a race against time in the bid to add to the 31 appearances he has made this season for the Wolves team chasing the European qualifiers.
