Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal target Ruben Neves drops new major transfer hint

Mikel Arteta wants to sign a new forward and has seemingly sidelined a pursuit of fresh midfield reinforcements. United are also prioritising attacking additions, with a deal for Ajax forward Antony believed to be close. 

That could leave Liverpool with a free run at Neves if they choose to pursue a midfielder. Jurgen Klopp has reneged on his firm stance that the Reds will not sign another player this summer, having had his midfield exposed in the opening weeks of the new season. 

According to The Athletic, Klopp and the Anfield hierarchy will still try to sign a midfielder despite their 9-0 thumping of Bournemouth on Saturday. It is felt that a gruelling schedule this season could stretch their current midfield options.

Liverpool could therefore target a move for the 25-year-old Neves. Wolves want the former Porto man to extend his current contract.
