Liverpool are weighing up a move for Ruben Neves as the Portuguese midfielder’s contract ticks down at Wolves.
Kop boss Jurgen Klopp has claimed that the Reds have spent their entire transfer budget on £43million January wigning Cody Gakpo. But Klopp is a big admirer of Neves, and with just 18 months left on the 25-year-old’s deal at Molineux, it may suit Wolves and Liverpool to strike an agreement now.
The Midlands club once valued their most influential player at £70 million, but they know his price is falling with every week he fails to sign fresh terms. While Newcastle are also monitoring Neves’ situation, they are unlikely to make a move until the summer.
