Premier League Club Set Price Tag for Fantastic Player Who Could Replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly set their asking price for Pedro Neto as the summer transfer window approaches.

The Telegraph reports that Wolves will seek a minimum of £60 million for the winger. This valuation comes despite Neto’s hamstring injuries during the 2023-24 season, where he managed to score two goals and provide nine assists in 20 Premier League matches.

Wolves are not in a position where they need to urgently sell players, having generated over £140 million in sales last summer. Nonetheless, they anticipate interest in Neto, with Manchester City and Newcastle United reportedly showing keen interest.

Liverpool have also been frequently linked with Neto. He is considered a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah on the right wing.

Salah’s current contract with Anfield expires in a year, and a recent social media post hinted that he intends to stay for the upcoming season.

Earlier this year, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano suggested that Liverpool had scouted Neto. In an interview with CaughtOffside, he stated:

“I would also keep a close eye on Liverpool – let’s see who’s going to be their manager, let’s see who’s going to be their director and what kind of strategy they will have. But Pedro Neto has also been scouted by Liverpool in recent months and years.”

Speaking on Neto’s future in February, Wolves boss Gary O’Neil said: ‘I think his strengths are incredibly strong. Obviously, his athleticism and his pace are excellent, his quality on the ball – when he’s dribbling or when he’s trying to find a pass at the end of it – is excellent.

“I’m still working really hard on improving certain bits of him that I think he needs to improve, in my opinion. He knows that, we’ve spoken about it already, about how much he can do for the team, out-of-possession stuff and still some understanding with the ball.
