Wolves boss Gary O'Neil makes Pedro Neto transfer statement

In a summer where Wolves will need to sell a big asset to reinvest in the squad, Neto may leave, but O’Neil says the player will be committed to the club if a move does not materialise.

O’Neil said: “Pedro’s really happy at the club and, if nothing happens for him in the summer and there’s no big offers or big clubs coming in for him, he’s more than committed to cracking on and showing everyone how good he is next season in a Wolves shirt.

“I understand the noise because of how good he is and the potential value he has, but there’s none of that from Pedro.

“He’s just focused on being as good as he can be.

“I don’t know how he’ll feel if or when an offer comes from a big club, obviously it can turn your head, but at this moment in time if we told him there’s no offers coming in and he’ll be at Wolves next season, he’d be absolutely fine with that.

“Whether he’s started his last game or not this season, probably. It will probably be a stretch for him to start at Liverpool.

“The injury was meant to be between 10 and 12 weeks and he’s about nine now. Although he was ahead of schedule, we’ve had to slow down a little bit, but hopefully he’ll be around it and fit enough to be on the bench.

“He also has the Euros in the summer, so it’s a big summer for him.”

Meanwhile, O’Neil is excited about his side playing in front of Wolves’ American fan base after a pre-season trip across the Atlantic was announced.

Wolves will face Crystal Palace and West Ham in Jacksonville and Annapolis at the end of July.

O’Neil said: “Most of it is still with the commercial department and I haven’t seen loads about it yet.

“But going to America and seeing the supporters there is fantastic.

“We haven’t had time yet to go through exactly what it looks like, I’m still waiting for commercial to update me fully, but I’m very excited and it seems like a good tour with some good matches. It’s a great place in the world to go to.

“We’ll see over the next few weeks exactly what it looks like. As you can imagine with my schedule, it’s sometimes difficult for them to pin me down.

“It’s a good trip, we just need to make sure it goes as well as it can possibly go and we make sure we’re ready for the Premier League when we get back.”
