The newspaper ‘A Bola’ assures that in the next few days it could be officially announced
The player already has an agreement with the Barcelona club for the next four seasons
It is no secret that Rubén Neves is FC Barcelona’s bet to strengthen the midfield after the departure of Sergio Busquets. Despite the fact that the Barcelona club still does not have the ‘OK’ of the League to its viability plan, in Portugal they already take for granted the signing of the Portuguese by Barça. The newspaper ‘A Bola’ assures that it could be officially announced in the coming days.
The Barça club has been following the Wolverhampton player since last summer but the economic situation prevented it from making an attractive offer for the English club to transfer its player. The situation has changed radically because Neves has not renewed and has decided to change scenery. And Barça is his priority.
For the Catalans, it is an economically very interesting operation that has been in the works for some time together with their agent, Jorge Mendes. Wolverhampton would pay 30 million euros and Rubén Neves in exchange for taking over the services of Ansu Fati. The Barca ’10’, for the moment, is reluctant to leave and is pending a meeting with Xavi to clarify his future. In the last appearances of the coach, at no time has he confirmed the safe continuity of the footballer.
Rubén Neves is not Xavi’s priority for the midfield position because he prefers Zubimendi, from Real Sociedad, but he accepts the arrival of the Portuguese because he understands that it is a very beneficial operation for the entity.
