According to sources, Wolves will sell Pedro Neto this summer in order to fund fresh transfers and meet Premier League financial criteria.
The Portuguese winger is having a wonderful season at Molineux, having scored twice and provided eight assists in 15 Premier League appearances, attracting interest from a number of major clubs over the years.
The 23-year-old is in his sixth season with Wolves and has emerged as a crucial player, starting 14 games under Gary O’Neil this season.
However, according to the Sun, Wolves may be willing to cut their losses on the kid in order to add depth to their squad at the conclusion of the season.
According to the source, the club plans to sign a striker, a center-back, and another winger this summer, but one of their star players will have to be sacrificed in order to meet Premier League requirements.
Wolves’ star Pedro Neto is expected to leave the club this summer to help finance new deals, according to sources.

Everton and Nottingham Forest have already been charged with breaching the league’s strict Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and clubs are treading extra carefully in order to stay clear from trouble.
The January transfer window was unusually quiet, with less than £100m spent as clubs look to balance the books before the summer.
With Wolves close to breaking even on PSR, they must rake in more money on a big name in order to spend, the report adds, with Neto a leading name to generate some cash for the club.
It claims that Neto would have been snapped up by a major side years ago had it not been for his injury problems, with Arsenal long-term admirers.
It further states that Tottenham, who Wolves will face this weekend, are ‘eager to do business’ and bring him to north London as well.
Liverpool is also a probable destination, with Neto being a ‘obvious choice’ to replace Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian leaves Anfield.
Neto hopes to make up for lost time this season after a series of crippling injuries that have hampered his progress at Molineux, including a shattered kneecap in 2021.
He has two goals and one assist in his previous four games, including a key role in the club’s legendary 4-2 win away to Chelsea earlier this month.
