If we don’t get back into Europe, this will the summer that clubs come after our best players. Just hope Fosun will reinvest any sales sensibly so we can keep pushing forward and not turn into Southampton

100m
He has 12 years playing at top level in front of him.
Clubs pay 8m per season for some top players on loan so it’s at least that.— europa wolf (@europawolf2019) February 2, 2020
If Fernandes is worth 80 million neves worth 100 million

So far this season, the Old Gold’s 22-year-old has featured in 37 games in all competitions, during which he has scored three and assisted two (as per Transfermarkt).
Despite having an average rating of just 6.7/10 across the term (per WhoScored), many were high in their estimation of the midfielder’s value to Nuno Espirito Santo.
Why we valuing him ????? he’s are player an going nowhere , pay him what he wants an the rest of are top players we lose him or any of are top players it’s going to be a massive step back ?

Price tag of 80M and someone can come a grab him for 100M because I don’t think he will go for less. Same goes for Adama and Raul

What do we think?
As one supporter suggested, if Wolves do not secure re-entry to the Europa League or Champions League for next season, then it may attract clubs circling for Wolves’ better players.
Neves’ current market value is £45 million (as per Transfermarkt), however, with how well thought of the Portuguese middleman is at Molineux (per Express and Star), their valuation is likely to be a lot higher.
