Barca keep an eye on Neves: Wolves announced replacement

Barcelona's priority is none other than to sign a midfielder to act as a defensive one in the face of the more than likely departure of Sergio Busquets. Ruben Neves is one of the favourites, but there is an internal debate at the club, as the board is in favour of his signing, while the sporting directors have other preferences.

What's more, in the last few hours Wolves have made a move that could bring the Portuguese midfielder closer to the 'Cules'. According to Fabrizio Romano, the English side have paid more than 18 million euros for Flamengo's Joao Gomes.

In addition, 'Sport' reported that the Brazilian midfielder will be the natural replacement for Neves. For this reason, Barca could move closer to signing him.

It is worth remembering that it was Joan Laporta who put the name of Ruben Neves on the table because of the good relationship he has with his agent, Jorge Mendes. The staff have been gathering reports on the Wolves midfielder, but after a long internal debate, the club have put him on the back burner.
