But he is now understood to be closing in on a deal that would see him grace the Nou Camp turf.

According to Sport, Neves' agent Jorge Mendes has struck an agreement with Barcelona.

It will involve Wolves paying £26million and Neves in a part-exchange deal for Ansu Fati.

However, Fati, 20, is yet to give the go-ahead for the switch to be completed.

The Barca forward has contributed 26 goals and 10 assists in 106 matches, but has started just 11 LaLiga games this season.

There is pressure from all parties to complete the transfer before June 30.

Neves joined Wolves when they were in the Championship back in 2017 for £15.8m from Porto.

Helping Wanderers to secure promotion in his first season, he has gone on to register 30 goals and 13 assists in 251 appearances.

But it appears his time in the Black Country is coming to an end - with his contract up at the end of next season.

Neves brought his wife and kids onto the Molineux pitch following their final home game of the campaign.

Julen Lopetegui's side conceded a last-gasp equaliser to draw 1-1 with Everton.

But that did not stop Neves from being all smiles as he received applause from the supporters after the final whistle.
