Chelsea ready to rival Manchester United for Ruben Neves

Chelsea reportedly seem ready to try to win the race to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves.

The 24-year-old has been an integral part of the Wolves setup, but his future at the West Midlands outfit remains uncertain beyond next summer.

Neves possesses a contract until the end of the 2023-24 campaign, and Fichajes claims that the Portugal international could be eyeing a bigger challenge elsewhere.

Manchester United are long-term admirers of the Portuguese attacker. They are expected to make a bid at the end of the season.

United are set to face fierce competition from Chelsea, who are keen on signing the midfielder with big-game experience.

Wolves are open to parting ways with Neves if they receive an offer somewhere around £35 million.
