According to reports, Manchester City is leading the race to sign Wolves forward Pedro Neto next summer, with the player pushing for a move to the Etihad Stadium. This potential transfer would mark the second major business deal between the two clubs, after Matheus Nunes joined Manchester City for £53 million last September. If the move goes through, Neto would be reunited with former Wolves teammate Nunes and join fellow Portuguese players Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva in Guardiola’s squad.
Neto, who has been called up for five Portugal caps, has had an impressive season with Wolves, contributing to 11 Premier League goals in 16 appearances. As a result, several clubs including Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal have shown interest in signing the 23-year-old forward, with Wolves expected to demand a club-record fee for his transfer.
Insider sources suggest that Neto’s move to Manchester City is becoming increasingly likely, with both the player and his agent pushing for the transfer despite interest from other clubs. The treble-winners are reportedly pursuing the versatile forward, with plans to further strengthen their squad next summer by targeting other players such as Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich and West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta.
Despite the potential arrival of Neto, Bernardo Silva’s future at City remains uncertain, with rumors of a £50 million release clause adding to the speculation. With these developments, it seems likely that Manchester City will be involved in significant transfer activity as they prepare for the upcoming season.
