According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, the £58k-a-week star would be a “huge acquisition” for Liverpool. Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton Wanderers would be a ‘huge acquisition’ for Liverpool, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke of GIVEMESPORT.
Neves will likely leave the Wolves in the summer transfer window, which is not s/u/r/p/r/i/s/i/n/g given their terrible season.
Transfer news – Ruben Neves
Neves is poised to depart the Midlands club in the summer, according to reports. The Portuguese midfielder has been an outstanding servant for the Wolves, assisting them in their promotion to the Premier League. According to sources in Spain, Neves, who earns £58k a week at Molineux, is receiving interest from Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Liverpool.
Wolves will be a/n/x/i/o/u/s to maintain hold of their midfield general, but Julen Lopetegui’s team is battling for a place toward the bottom of the Premier League.
A player of Neves’ caliber should be auditioning for a team competing in a European tournament.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth recently r/e/v/e/a/l/e/d the Wolves’ concern over Neves, whose contract expires in 2024. He stated: “Wolves may be forced to sell him with a year remaining on his contract since he is a valuable asset to the club. Even though he still has a year remaining on his contract, they could get £40m-50m for Ruben Neves even then.”
Writer Adam Bates recently said that Neves was “carrying the team,” which is probably true at the moment.
What has O’Rourke said about Neves?
O’Rourke believes Neves would be a “huge acquisition” for Liverpool if they could sign the Portugal international in the summer. The writer also drew parallels between Neves and current Liverpool player Thiago Alcântara.
“Slightly different guys, in that regard,” he told GIVEMESPORT. Thiago is a playmaker, whilst Neves is a defensive midfielder. However, yes, I believe it would be a significant addition for Liverpool if they want to rebuild their midfield.
“He has Premier League experience, is of a decent age, and is a superb player, as he has shown at Wolves and for Portugal.”
To put it bluntly. According to Fabrizio Romano, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita will depart the club this summer.
This will leave them short in midfield, and with Neves’ contract expiring next year, the Merseyside club might get a good deal.
A player of Neves’ caliber will be very valuable to the current Liverpool team, which needs not just more squad depth in the center, but also extra quality given their uneven season.

Liverpool’s midfield is in desperate need of an overhaul, with the likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner all out of contract in the summer.
Liverpool had made Jude Bellingham their top objective, but a new report in The Athletic reveals that optimism over securing the England talent has waned.
Nonetheless, there are still plenty of plausible possibilities for Klopp’s team to sign this summer, including Neves.
The ex-Porto player demonstrated his abilities against Liverpool earlier this season when he was named Man of the Match in the Wolves’ 3-0 triumph.
