Neves has shone in the Premier League and looks like a player who could make the step up to a big club like Real Madrid in the near future.

This would be a big blow for Wolves, who have been putting together a strong squad that looks increasingly like it could be competitive in terms of chasing a top four spot in years to come.

Neves is an important part of that, however, so the club must surely do everything possible to prevent the 23-year-old leaving for Spain.
