According to a report by Daily Mail, Pedro Neto is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are in the market for a right-sided winger heading into the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Portuguese international is also a target for Liverpool, with Wolverhampton Wanderers demanding £60 million to part ways with him.
Pedro Neto and his Topsy-Turvy Ride at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Pedro Neto has been one of the best young wingers in the Premier League since joining Wolverhampton Wanderers from Lazio in August 2019. The 24-year-old has come leaps and bounds in the last half a decade, becoming a pivotal figure for the Black Country outfit.
The Portuguese international has also overcome several fitness issues that threatened to derail his progress. He has enjoyed an excellent 2023/24 campaign thus far, amassing three goals and 11 assists in 22 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Neto’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs.
A move across the Premier League might be on the cards, with several English bigwigs keen on securing his services. The former Lazio winger is a target for Liverpool, although the Reds have some reservations about him. Meanwhile, Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Neto, who will cost around £60 million this summer.
Liverpool, Newcastle United Keen
Liverpool’s interest in Pedro Neto is understandable. The Reds are sweating over the long-term future of Mohamed Salah amid relentless interest from Saudi Pro League clubs. So, they must keep their options open, with the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger emerging on their radar.
As for Newcastle United, the Tyneside outfit will likely part ways with Miguel Almiron in the summer transfer window. So, the Magpies need a top-class winger to replace the Paraguayan international. Neto is thus an option worth considering, although his price tag of £60 million might pose a problem.
Newcastle United did not sign a player this past winter due to potential Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules breaches. So, Liverpool might have the upper hand in the race to sign Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers. With the Portuguese international reportedly expected to leave the Black Country outfit, a big move is on the cards.
