# Exclusive: Bull claims Bruno Fernandes went under Wolves’ radar

**In an exclusive interview with [Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/), Wolves legend Steve Bull has admitted that Bruno Fernandes went under their radar and he would’ve expected Jorge Mendes to get him to Wolves before his move to Man United.**

Since Wolves earned promotion back to the Premier League they have had an influx of Portuguese players, with [eight currently](https://fbref.com/en/squads/8cec06e1/Wolverhampton-Wanderers-Stats) in their first-team squad as well as just selling Diogo Jota to Liverpool last summer.

Fernandes has been a revelation at Manchester United since he signed last January and his influence on the pitch with dragging them closer to Manchester City on the pitch with [35 goals and 21 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-fernandes/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/240306) in 67 games for the Red Devils.

Speaking on how he went under the radar at Molineux and why he hopes Fernandes doesn’t speak to Pedro Neto, Bull told **Transfer Tavern**:

*“I think he went under the radar for \[Jorge\] Mendes otherwise, I think he would have definitely been on our scale and we definitely would have had him all day long.*

*“They say things to each other on international camps because players talk, agents talk, everyone talks, and I can’t see any reason why Neto would want to go.”*

Pedro Neto has been linked with a [£50 million move](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/14405721/man-utd-neto-transfer-solskjaer-sancho/) to Manchester United this summer, however, Bull thinks it will require a fee closer to [£80 million.](https://www.footballfancast.com/wolves-news/exclusive-steve-bull-neto-50-million-man-utd-e61)
