Wolves are confident Ruben Neves will not leave them as a free agent at the end of next season even though his current deal expires then.
The midfielder is on the radar of Arsenal and several other top clubs, including Barcelona, which could see him leave, considering the pedigree of these clubs.
However, Wolves believe he will not leave them as a free agent and they will make some money from his departure.
Arsenal is prepared to pay to add him to their squad, but it remains unclear if Wolves want him to leave at the end of this season.
A report via The Daily Mail reveals they hope he signs a contract extension to his current deal with them.
This will make it easy for them to make a good fee if he eventually leaves them in the summer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have been on the lookout for a new midfielder and Neves is one of the finest in the Premier League at the moment.
If the midfielder wants out in the summer after several years at Wolves, we must position ourselves to add him to our squad.
This means we must be prepared to outbid the other top clubs who will similarly be keen.
