Manchester United have been given a price tag for Ruben Neves should they want to sign him this summer.
United have been linked with the Wolves player in the past and the Manchester Evening News understands that the Reds are looking to prioritise signing a defensive midfielder come the end of the season. The West Midlands club's boss Bruno Lage believes that the 25-year-old is worth plenty in the current market.
He told Birmingham Live : "I don’t know if it’s Man Utd or other teams, what I know is we have a special player here with us. What he is doing this season is very good.

"I think also the way we play, he can show a better Ruben, and also the way he plays puts our team on a different level. When you have that player, the best thing to do is improve his salary and years of the contract.
"But who knows, when you have a top player like him in that specific position, that can defend and attack, and is a top professional and a great man. The big teams are there with £100million to buy these kinds of players."
When asked if there was a figure which could tempt the Wolves, Lage added: "I would have preferred to remain with Joao Felix in Benfica, but €120m came and he left. It depends on the strategy of Wolves also, that’s why it was so hard to find players in the last two transfer windows because we want to find the best players at the right price and the right age to help us, then after two or three years they can give us economical profit.
"It’s not just about Wolves, in these days which club can refuse a proposal of 80, 90 or 100 million pounds? Five or six."
The £100million mark could deter United, especially considering they are now looking at other targets. MEN Sport revealed on Thursday that the Reds are working on a deal with Leeds for Kalvin Phillips.
