Hide AdWolves have no plans to sell Neto who has five-years left on his current contract at Molineux and if they were to, it would take a significant fee to prize him away from the West Midlands.
A move could also hinge on the potential departure of Nicolas Pepe but that is something that is looking increasingly like.
Discussions are ongoing between Arsenal and French club Nice over a loan move for Pepe and if that deal is done, it would give the Gunners the green light to pursue their man.
The Athletic state that a deal won’t be easy due to the North London side not being able to spend excessively, however, they are extremely keen to get a transfer done and may well break the bank if it comes to that.
