Manchester City Enters Race for 11-Assist Tottenham Target Neto

Manchester City Enter Race for 11-Assist Tottenham Target

Manchester City’s interest in Neto could scupper Spurs’ move. Tottenham Hotspur has been linked with Wolves winger Pedro Neto during the ongoing summer transfer window, but the deal has yet to materialize.

Tottenham is looking to bolster its offensive options in the off-season, with a wide forward among the considerations. The club has been linked with players like Nico Williams, Federico Chiesa, and Pedro Neto. However, Spurs might have to settle for a secondary option as Manchester City enters the fray for the Portuguese winger, according to The Telegraph.

This development follows the news of Julian Alvarez’s imminent transfer to Atletico Madrid, which would bring a record sum to Etihad Stadium. Manchester City is now focused on signing a replacement for Alvarez, and Neto has caught Pep Guardiola’s eye following his impressive performances last season, particularly against City.

The 24-year-old has garnered interest from multiple elite clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal, and Spurs. Despite recently acquiring wide forward Savinho for £30.8 million from City’s sister club Girona, the Premier League champions are keen on further bolstering their offensive options this summer.

Although Neto is contracted at Molineux Stadium until June 2027, he is expected to move away during this transfer window.

Can City Steal Neto from Spurs?

Neto scored three goals and tallied 11 assists in 24 appearances in the Premier League and FA Cup last season, despite injury concerns. He has consistently demonstrated his ability to challenge defenders and cause problems for the opposition’s backline. Neto has been one of the best players at Wolves since joining the club, making him a highly sought-after talent.

Tottenham has been eyeing a move for Neto, but their pursuit is complicated by Manchester City’s financial power and appeal as one of the top teams in Europe. Tottenham’s chairman Daniel Levy and his officials will be closely monitoring City’s interest in Neto as the transfer window approaches its final weeks.
