Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly ahead of La Liga giants Barcelona in the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves this summer.

Liverpool and Manchester United have reportedly emerged as front-runners ahead of Barcelona to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves in this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old joined the West Midlands outfit in the summer of 2017 and won the Championship title with Wolves during his first campaign at the club.

Having featured 245 times for the Black Country side, the Portugal international has been a consistent starter during Wolves' current spell in the Premier League since promotion in 2018.

According to Football Insider, Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United are ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Neves this summer.

The La Liga giants are said to be long-term admirers of the player, but their current financial situation is likely to impact their ability to secure the services of Neves.

Wolves are reportedly set to offer the midfielder a new contract at Molineux in an attempt to commit his long-term future to the club, however the player is open to moving on.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds are preparing to lose Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita in the summer at the expiration of their contracts, with the Merseyside club looking to carry out a midfield rebuild.

Manchester United continue to evolve under the leadership of Erik ten Hag, with Scott McTominay and Marcel Sabitzer amongst the midfield names who could depart Old Trafford in the summer.
