Wolves star Pedro Neto is set to be sold by the club this summer in a bid to finance new transfers and meet the Premier League’s financial regulations, according to reports.
The Portuguese winger is having a fantastic season at Molineux after scoring twice and providing eight assists from 15 Premier League outings, with the player garnering interest from a number of top sides over the years.
The 23-year-old is in his fifth season at Wolves and has become a key figure for the club, starting 14 games under Gary O’Neil in this campaign.
However, Wolves may be willing to cut their losses on the player in order to add more depth to the squad at the end of the season, as reported by the Sun.
The club are looking to bring in a striker, centre-back and another winger this summer, the report adds, but one of their A-list players will have to be sacrificed in order to do so the comply with the Premier League’s 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 charged with breaching the league’s strict Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and clubs are treading extra carefully in order to stay clear from trouble.
The January transfer window was unusually quiet, with less than £100m spent as clubs look to balance the books before the summer.

It claims that Neto would have been snapped up by a major side years ago had it not been for his injury problems, with Arsenal long-term admirers.
It also says Tottenham – who Wolves will face this weekend – are ‘keen to do business’ and bring him to north London too.
