Manchester City eyes Wolves winger

Manchester City is eyeing a move for Wolves winger Pedro Neto, according to reports. The Premier League champions are keen on adding pace to their squad, with Neto emerging as a top target.

Neto, who has impressed with his performances for Wolves, is also attracting interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. His agent, Gestifute, has been in talks with several teams, including those in the Premier League and Europe.

City’s interest in Neto comes after the successful acquisition of Jeremy Doku, highlighting Pep Guardiola’s desire to strengthen his wide options.

While discussions were held in January, a deal couldn’t materialize due to Wolves’ high valuation and Neto’s injury concerns. However, City remains keen on the Portuguese winger and is expected to make a move in the upcoming transfer window.

Despite City’s interest, competition is expected to be fierce, especially from clubs in the Saudi Pro League. Jorge Mendes, Neto’s agent, has strong connections in Saudi Arabia, potentially opening up another avenue for the winger’s future.

Wolves are preparing for Neto’s departure and are reportedly seeking a fee exceeding £60 million for the talented winger, who is tied to a long-term contract until 2027.

As City continues its pursuit of Neto, the club faces a crucial Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid, while Wolves gear up to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
