Wolves reveal 'ideal situation' for Ruben Neves amid Manchester United transfer links

Wolves technical director Scott Sellars has named the 'ideal situation' for the West Midlands club as they look to keep hold of Ruben Neves amid links with Manchester United.

Reports in The Sun on Saturday suggested that United were looking to make a 'final push' for Neves this summer in order to secure a deal. MEN Sport understands that the Reds have not made contact with Wolves about any interest in the Portuguese midfielder, however they are looking to strengthen the centre of the park in this transfer window.

Despite it being understood that Wolves had not received any approach for the 25-year-old, Sellars did hint at the fact that the club may end up fending off interest from bigger teams. Speaking to Birmingham Live, he said: "There’s probably some players that will be moving out and I’ll certainly be pushing and driving hard to get that money to spend.

"I certainly get the sense that would be the feeling of what I’m allowed to do, so anything that does happen I want to spend the money and certainly try to improve the squad and try to make us progress. Ruben’s a top player; Ruben’s been fantastic this season and I think showed again his quality, also I think showed how happy he is here, so I think that’s something we as a club know as well.

"The ideal situation is we want him to stay, and I’ve spoken to him about it. But I’m also realistic that when you’ve got an outstanding player then the top clubs are going to come and try to see what the situation is.

"Again, it will be discussed, about what’s right for the club, and will certainly be something we’ll look at."
