Arsenal and Manchester United both want Pedro Neto to join their teams in January, according to a TEAMtalk report. The Gunners, who are now in the lead in the race, have already spoken with his agent Jorge Mendes about a prospective deal. Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, want £60 million to get rid of him.
Neto moved from Lazio to Wolves in 2019. He got off to a good start in England. But he had a history of ailments throughout the previous few seasons. He only played a little over 1,000 minutes of football all of last season.
Even though Neto was viewed as a major future talent, nothing was actually going according to plan for him. However, the 23-year-old has succeeded in improving the situation. He has had a successful start to the 2023–24 season and has demonstrated his talent to the globe.
He has one goal and four assists in his seven Premier League appearances for Wolves so far this year. In their most recent game, they defeated the reigning champions Manchester City thanks in large part to the 23-year-old.
Neto’s recent outstanding achievements and form haven’t gone unnoticed. Both Manchester United and Arsenal are interested in adding him to their rosters.
The Red Devils have recently added a lot of wingers to their roster. However, the fans were not satisfied with the influence those players had. They might add a lot of firepower to their ranks by signing Neto.
Jadon Sancho has been cut from the starting lineup, Antony is dealing with some serious allegations, and they have let Mason Greenwood go (on loan to Getafe). They will therefore need a new winger in the offseason, and Erik ten Hag wants Neto to join his squad.
But there are other teams who are interested in him besides Manchester United. The 23-year-old’s availability is desired by even Arsenal. Their standout winger Bukayo Saka just sustained an injury and may not play in the upcoming game.
Mikel Arteta wants to make sure they have adequate depth to handle Saka’s absence because he has taken quite a few blows lately. Neto has the depth they really need, according to Arteta, who thinks his presence will also help them push for major titles. Arteta is a huge fan of Neto.
The player’s agent has been contacted by the Gunners. In an effort to determine the prerequisites for carrying out a move during the winter window, they have been in discussions with Jorge Mendes. The report states that a minimum of £60 million will be required to oust the player from Wolves in the middle of the season.
Although Manchester United is eager to have him join their team, the Gunners are in a stronger financial position. They may ultimately prevail in the competition for the 23-year-old, who is valued at £60 million.
