The forward penned a long-term contract valid until 2027 with Gary O’Neil’s side in March 2022, meaning they have ground to seek a massive fee for one of their star players.
As revealed by Football Insider (11 February), Neto is expected to attract bids in the summer amid strong interest from Arsenal.
It is believed that Liverpool could also enter the race for the Portugal international as they seek a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, while clubs from across Europe are also monitoring the 23-year-old.
He suffered a hamstring issue earlier in the season which saw him sidelined for eight Premier League games, but he appears to be back to his electrifying best having delivered a series of dazzling performances since returning in late December.
