Ruben Neves turned down advances from Manchester United and Liverpool this summer in favour of pursuing a move to Barcelona.
The Wolves midfielder, 25, has established himself as one of the Premier League's finest midfielders since arriving in 2017. And he seemed destined for a transfer away following the conclusion of last season when he waved to Molineux supporters while in tears in May.
United were in desperate need for a defensive midfielder and spent all summer chasing Frenkie De Jong's ghost. Neves would have been a suitable replacement but instead the club spent big on Real Madrid's Casemiro, signing the Brazilian for £70m.
