City’s interest in Neto could scupper Spurs move
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Wolves winger Pedro Neto during the ongoing summer transfer window; however, these links have not materialized into a transfer just yet.
The North Londoners are looking to bolster their offensive options in the off-season, and bringing in a wide forward, though the doors at Tottenham Hotspur Way are among the considerations at N17. The club has been linked with the likes of Nico Williams, Federico Chiesa, and Pedro Neto over the window. And Spurs might just have to settle for a secondary option as the mighty Manchester City comes into play for the Portuguese winger, per The Telegraph.
This comes following the news of Julian Alvarez’s imminent transfer to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in a move that would bring record sum to the Etihad Stadium. The recent development means the Manchester Blues are now focused on signing a replacement for the former River Plate forward. Neto has caught the attention of Pep Guardiola following his impressive performances in the Premier League last season and particularly against Manchester City.
The 24-year-old has been subject to interest from multiple elite clubs, including Manchester City and Arsenal, alongside Spurs.
Despite recently bringing in a new wide forward in Savinho for £30.8 million from City’s sister club Girona, the Premier League defending champions are keen on bolstering their offensive options this summer window.
While Neto has a contract at Molineux Stadium until June 2027, he is expected to move away from Black Country in the ongoing summer transfer window.
City ready to steal Neto from under Spurs’ nose?
The former Braga winger netted three goals alongside a further tally of 11 assists in 24 appearances in the Premier League and FA Cup last season. This came amid his injury concerns during the campaign. Neto has shown his ability with the ball at his feet, especially running at defenders and causing problems to the back line on a regular basis.
He has been among the best players at Wolves since he moved to the club, and his performances have made him a highly sought-after talent.
Tottenham have already heard about a possible move for Neto; however, their pursuit gets tricky as Manchester City bring their financial prowess alongside the appeal to represent possibly the best team in Europe.
