Portuguese prospect told which club to commit to amid Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund interest
The latest transfer talk from Newcastle United as a reported Magpies target is handed some transfer advice.
A reported Newcastle United transfer target has been tipped to remain with his current club this summer as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
The Magpies kicked off their summer transfer window with the signing of France Under-21 goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen earlier this month after they agreed a deal believed to be worth an initial £18.5m with Ligue 2 club Reims. However, there has been major frustration as United chase their second deal of the summer after they were beaten to the signing of Osasuna and Spain winger Victor Munoz by Premier League rivals Liverpool last week.
Newcastle have been linked with a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster Mateus Mane after he enjoyed a breakthrough season at Molineux last time out. However, the Portugal Under-21 international was unable to help his side fight a successful battle against relegation and talk over his future has ramped up as they prepare for life in the Championship.
Despite talk of a move back into the Premier League, former Everton CEO Keith Wyness believes the youngster should remain at Molineux for another season and insisted only ‘something extraordinary’ could persuade Wolves to consider a sale.
He told the Football Insider podcast: "I think it will be another year at Molineux, and he'll then get a move by next summer. However, having said that, there could well be a price that comes in that Wolves will find very hard to reject. The player, I'm sure, won't be happy about being a Championship player because I think he is quality. But I think his own deal for himself personally would be better off if he stays until next summer and then negotiates the deal at that time.
"I'd expect that possibly to happen unless something extraordinary comes in. And I don't think he's quite of that quality to get an extraordinary bid. He won't have been happy about the whole Rob Edwards situation, but he's one of the assets that they want to keep hold of if they can and utilise him in terms of that promotion push. There's going to be some serious competition in the Championship. It's going to be a phenomenal season to watch."
