Sources: Wolves could be forced to sell Pedro Neto – summer FFP plan revealed
Pedro Neto sale could unlock transfer funds for Wolves boss Gary O’Neil
Wolves may have to sell star man Pedro Neto this summer to unlock funds for deals of their own, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking to the new edition of Football Insider’s Insider Track Podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Molineux club may have to part with one or two top players if they are to spend in the off-season.
It is believed Neto may attract the most interest following his explosive return from injury in the 2023-24 campaign.
The Portugal international has clubs from the Premier League and Europe monitoring his situation.
Neto has notched three goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions this term.
Wolves are keen to keep him at Molineux but will have to sell to buy big in the summer – a conundrum a lot of other Premier League clubs are facing.
Football Insider revealed last week (3 February) that the Midlands club held talks over deals for both Yuri Alberto and Armando Broja in January but were unable to finalise the moves due to their strict budget.
Gary O’Neil has had his hands tied since arriving last year (2023) but he remains fully patient and understanding about the situation at Molineux.
Wolves parted with the likes of Ruben Neves, Nathan Collins and Matheus Nunes last summer (2023) – with some of those sales causing Julen Lopetegui to leave the club.
Those sales all helped to improve the financial situation at Molineux.
Football Insider revealed last month (23 January) that the Midlands club are also preparing to field offers for Joao Gomes after his impressive start to life in the Premier League.
O’Neil’s side sit 10th in the top-flight table and have built a 13-point buffer to the relegation zone.
