Wolves star Pedro Neto will be sold by the club this summer in a bid to fund new transfers and comply with Premier League financial regulations, according to reports.
The Portuguese winger is enjoying a fantastic season at Molineux after scoring twice and providing eight assists in 15 Premier League appearances, with the player attracting interest from a number of top clubs over the years.
The 23-year-old is in his fifth season at Wolves and has become a key figure for the club. He played fourteen games under Gary O’Neil this season.
However, Wolves may be willing to cut their losses on the player to add more depth to the squad at the end of the season, as reported by the sun.
The club wants to sign a striker, a centre-back and a winger this summer, the report adds, but one of the top players will have to be sacrificed to comply with Premier League rules.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will reportedly battle to bring the player to North London
Everton and Nottingham Forest have already been accused of breaching the competition’s strict Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and clubs are taking extra care to stay out of trouble.
The January transfer window was unusually quiet, with less than £100 million spent as clubs attempted to balance the books before the summer.
With Wolves close to breaking even on PSR, they need to secure more money from a big name to spend, the report adds, while Neto is a leading name to generate some money for the club.
It is claimed that Neto would have been snapped up by a big team years ago had it not been for his injury problems, which Arsenal have been admirers of for years.
It also says Tottenham – who Wolves face this weekend – are ‘keen to do business’ and also want to bring him to north London.
Neto’s departure would be a huge blow to Wolves boss Gary O’Neil after he had eight assists
