# Wolves: Fabrizio Romano makes key Ruben Neves claim

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are set to offer star midfielder Ruben Neves a new contract after he stayed put this summer, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reports.**

### The Lowdown: Neves remains with Wolves

At the end of last season, it looked as though the 25-year-old was almost certain to leave Molineux, emotionally waving goodbye to the fans after the final game away to Liverpool.

Despite numerous [exit links](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/follow-up/wolves-premier-league-ruben-neves-transfer-news-updates-3/) emerging throughout the summer, Neves ended up remaining at Wolves, however, acting as a huge boost for the club.

The Portuguese’s current deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ruben-neves/profil/spieler/225161) in 2024 but a new update suggests he could end up staying beyond that date.

### The Latest: New deal incoming?

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1565954746275577858?s=20&t=EsN8NAOt0A7nGpAjCvthhQ) on Saturday morning, Romano shared Bruno Lage’s comments regarding Wolves offering Neves an extension:

### The Verdict: Massive news

Tying down Neves’ long-term future could arguably be more important than any new signing that comes in for Wolves, given the influence he has had over the years.

The Portugal midfielder is a huge presence at the heart of Wanderers’ midfield, dictating play, defending doggedly  – he [leads the team in tackles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton) in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) so far this season – and chipping in with the odd long-range stunner too.

There is clearly a chance that Neves doesn’t want to commit too far down the line but this is undoubtedly a positive update and the player himself will hopefully accept the offer.
