Former Wolves defender Conor Coady has shared what he would do if he were still at the club this summer amid uncertainties surrounding Pedro Neto’s future.
Summer promises to be intriguing at Molineux as Gary O’Neil sets out to reinforce his squad following a promising debut season at Wolves. The Old Gold surpassed their 2022/23 points tally by five, with a string of impressive results indicating the club’s resurgence after a challenging summer last year. O’Neil’s focus now turns to addressing the squad depth issues that emerged this season, a crucial aspect to tackle in the upcoming transfer window.
In addition to recruitment plans, the manager aims to retain key assets, amid mounting speculation surrounding Pedro Neto’s future. Conor Coady, former Wolves defender, shared insights into the dynamics of retaining top talents, drawing parallels with his own experiences. Reflecting on potential departures, Coady emphasized the importance of urging star players like Neto to stay, highlighting the perennial challenge faced by clubs in retaining their best performers.
While Neto’s remarkable form has attracted attention, Wolves face a tough task in retaining him, with Manchester City and Newcastle United reportedly keen on securing his services. The club’s asking price of £60 million underscores their determination to retain Neto’s services. Yet, amidst his undeniable talent, Neto’s injury-ridden campaign raises questions about his long-term availability. With only 18 Premier League starts last season, there’s a deliberation over whether Wolves should capitalize on his market value now or risk potential depreciation due to recurring fitness concerns.
