TOP FOUR RIVALS TO ACCELERATE PURSUIT OF ‘INCREDIBLE’ £60M LIVERPOOL TARGET

Tottenham Hotspur are set to make their move for Liverpool target Pedro Neto

Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their pursuit of Pedro Neto, a move that could see Liverpool miss out on the highly-rated winger. According to Fabrizio Romano on a Playback livestream, Tottenham have shown significant interest in Neto, and they may be ready to act on that interest soon.

This development comes as Liverpool are actively seeking at least one wide forward, possibly even two, to strengthen their attacking options. Neto, known for his versatility and attacking prowess, has been a long-term target for the Reds. He has the ability to play on both wings and even through the middle, making him a valuable asset for any team.

Neto is known for his excellent dribbling skills and ability to deliver quality crosses, attributes that make him an exciting prospect for Liverpool fans. However, his injury record is a cause for concern. At 24, Neto has played just over 150 senior games but has missed significant parts of the last three seasons due to injuries.

Despite these concerns, Neto would not be expected to play every game at Liverpool, thanks to the strong attacking depth in the squad. This could potentially reduce the risk of injury and allow him to make impactful contributions without the pressure of constant play. Wolves have set a price tag of upwards of £60 million for Neto, which would be a record fee for the club.

Tottenham’s interest in Neto adds a layer of complexity to Liverpool’s transfer strategy. Spurs are also eyeing former Liverpool player Dominic Solanke, with Bournemouth holding out for £65 million. Liverpool stands to benefit from this deal through a sell-on clause that would net them 20 per cent of any profit from Solanke’s sale.

Should Tottenham secure Solanke, it could leave the door open for Liverpool to make a more aggressive move for Neto. However, competition is fierce, with Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle United also in the mix for the Portuguese winger. An incredible player, Neto will be a massive asset as long as he can remain fit.

Jorge Mendes, Neto’s agent, is expected to push for a transfer this summer. If Liverpool manages to secure Neto’s signature, it would mark Arne Slot’s first major signing, adding significant firepower to an already potent attacking lineup.

The pursuit of Pedro Neto represents both an opportunity and a challenge. His versatility and skill set make him an ideal addition to the squad, capable of providing depth and quality across multiple attacking positions. However, his injury history and the hefty price tag present significant considerations. Now we can add competition from Tottenham to the list of challenges.
