Arsenal and Newcastle receive Neves boost
Midfielder Neves, 26, is keen to depart Wolves this summer with aspirations of playing in the Champions League next season.
Wolves are also believed to be interested in cashing in on the Portuguese international with his current contract expiring in June 2024.
Barcelona appeared a likely destination, however, Mendes’ ambitious plan to execute a switch between Neves and Catalan star Ansu Fati – another of his clients – has hit stumbling blocks.
Despite being unwanted at Barca by boss Xavi, Fati, 20, has no interest in swapping Spain for the Midlands.
Barca are not in a financial position to fork out an estimated £25m to bring Neves to the Nou Camp without the option of a player exchange.
Tensions between Fati and Mendes are at breaking point, while Neves is also getting frustrated that his future is no closer to being resolved.
SunSport understands that Mendes is using Barca’s weak interest in Neves to ramp up attention from previous potential suitors Arsenal and Newcastle.
The Premier League duo at one point had considered a move for Neves, but have since moved on to other targets.

Arsenal need to answer Jesus question
While all the transfer focus seems to be on the centre of midfield, Edu needs to address the elephant in the room, the strikers.
There is no doubt Jesus added something to the squad this season but his goal return is not that of a side that will challenge Man City for the title.
With Eddie Nketiah as back up for the Brazilian, Mikel Arteta really needs to find a striker who is capable of scoring 20+ goals a season.

Sporting director Edu already knows what two transfers the club are going to try and seal when the dust is settled on Declan Rice.

Mikel Arteta’s side have enquired about the availability of Ousmane Diomande with Sporting Lisbon.
Juventus are also interested in the player who only recently moved to Portugal.
Sadly for Arsenal fans, Sporting have the played ‘locked in’ with his contract and if they wish to prize him away, they would have to meet his £69m release clause.

Poch focus could aid United’s transfer target
Man Utd seem to be stuck in a stalemate with Chelsea over their respective valuations of Mason Mount.
Erik ten Hag seems to be willing to pay no more than £50m for the England international, while Chelsea value him at £70m.
However, Mauricio Pochettino is considering involving academy player Cesare Casadei in his pre-season tour.
The youngster has impressed at the under-20 World Cup and the Argentine manager thinks he has what it takes to step up to the first team.
If this is the case, he could replace Mount in The Blues’ squad for this forthcoming season.

Gunners looking to raid Man City again
Mikel Arteta is keen to secure the signing of Joao Cancelo from the Premier League champions.
Talks between the club and the player’s agents have gone well and the only stumbling block could be the transfer fee.
Man City value the player at £45m but it is thought that Arsenal are readying a bid of £35m to test the waters in Manchester.

This is no doubt not the end of this drama in Paris and it will be interesting to see how things develop with lots of clubs showing interest.
