Barcelona’s main objective this coming summer transfer window is to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund but the Catalan club are also eyeing up other potentially interesting market opportunities according to a report by Mundo Deportivo.
One of those potentially interesting opportunities could be Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves. The Portuguese pivot could be the ideal successor for Sergio Busquets; no other midfielder on the books at Camp Nou has been able to ably deputise for the defensive midfielder.
Neves, 25, is a full Portuguese international and has contributed four goals and two assists in the 30 games he’s played for Wolves this season across all competitions. His agent is Jorge Mendes, a man that Barcelona president Joan Laporta is on very good terms with. That could facilitate a transfer, although it’s understood Barcelona are reluctant to meet the €50m asking price. Neves’ contract at the Premier League club is understood to run to 2024.
