The Wolves winger is expected to be sold in the summer as the Midlands outfit look to balance the books a bit and get fully in line with FFP restrictions.
Neto is one of the star players at Molineux and the club know they can get a big fee for the 23-year-old if they do sell.
Clubs are interested as well. Tottenham are said to be one of the teams keen on landing Neto, while Arsenal are known to have watched him for some time now as well.
And according to TalkSPORT, the north London clubs are expecting to battle it out for Neto, albeit Arsenal could have an advantage thanks to Edu.

Edu could sway Pedro Neto deal in Arsenal’s favour
According to the report from TalkSPORT, both Arsenal and Tottenham are in the mix for Neto in the summer.
It’s suggested Wolves will sell Neto for around £60m, in what would be a club-record fee for the club.
MORE ARSENAL STORIES
However, in terms of the buying club, it seems like Arsenal might be the ones holding he upper hand.
It’s reported that Edu has a close working relationship with Neto’s agent, Jorge Mendes. Mendes is known throughout the game as one of football’s premier deal makers and his relationship with Edu could help Arsenal.
The Gunners are very much still in the title mix this season but have looked at adding both a new winger and new striker in the last two windows.
Neto, then, could well be within their grasp when the summer rolls around.
The Wolves winger is bound to be in-demand and come the summer, more clubs may well be interested.
Neto has returned from a serious injury to become a key player for Wolves this season and they will no doubt hold firm on that £60m asking price.
