Liverpool could be handed a boost in their summer recruitment plans as Wolves are reportedly ‘tempted’ to part ways with Pedro Neto.
The Portuguese star is currently out injured having missed the end of the 2020/21 campaign with a knee problem.
Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp is attempting to bolster the ranks at Anfield this summer in order to challenge once again next season.
According to a report from 90min, as cited by Sean Walsh on Twitter, the Midlands club are considering parting ways with the 21-year-old forward.

The same report outlines the Reds as potential suitors alongside Tottenham and Juventus, whilst also claiming two previous Anfield targets Ruben Neves and Adama Traore are ‘pushing for moves’ away from Molineux.
Prior to picking up the season-ending injury, Neto had scored five goals and assisted six others in 31 Premier League outings.
Hailed as a ‘huge talent’ by Alan Shearer, the three-times capped Portugal man arrived at Wolves from Lazio in 2019.

Valued at £31.5million and under contract until 2025 (Transfermarkt), unsurprisingly the same report suggests it would take a ‘huge offer’ to land Neto this summer.
Whilst Liverpool aren’t exactly in the market for making huge offers, given the quality and potential on offer, signing the Portuguese ace would be a remarkable piece of business.
Shades of the deal that saw Diogo Jota make the same move last year, Klopp will no doubt have the versatile ace under serious assessment.
Perhaps more intriguing at this particular juncture is Traore’s desire to leave – with the Reds known admirers and a potentially cheaper option – something could be done there.
