According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool has started to show interest in Wolverhampton star midfielder Ruben Neves after recent reports emerge regarding his next club.
The Red’s interest in Ruben Neves is not new, as the midfielder has been linked with the club in previous transfer windows. With Neves’ contract at Wolvers set to expire this summer, Liverpool is reportedly keen on securing him on a free transfer.
Neves has played a significant role in Wolves’ squad since their promotion in the 2017-18 season and has grown in stature and influence in the Premier League.
While Barcelona is reportedly leading the race to sign Neves, their financial troubles may hinder a deal, opening an opportunity for Liverpool to pursue the Portuguese international. The report also mentions that Jurgen Klopp’s side attempted to sign a midfielder in January but faced rejection from the Wolves management.
Ruben Neves, currently in his prime, could be a great addition to Liverpool’s squad. Neves, as a box-to-box midfielder, could provide valuable contributions to the team in the coming years.
His leadership qualities and versatility across the midfield make him an ideal replacement for someone like Milner. If Neves joins Liverpool, he could make a significant impact and help the club in their pursuit of more trophies.
In the current season, the defensive midfielder has scored six goals and provided one assist in 40 appearances across all competitions, including a goal against Liverpool in February.
The fans hope that he can continue to find the net and create more scoring opportunities if he joins the Reds.
