      Molineux chiefs expected to lose Neves, who they value at around £50million, last summer – and were pleasantly surprised when a transfer didn’t materialise.
      But with the 26-year-old set to have one year remaining on his contract at the end of the season, the Mirror claim that Wolves bosses appear resigned to losing him this time around.
      Man United and Liverpool are set to be put on high alert by Neves’ situation.
      But they could face some strong competition from abroad.

      Barcelona and Real Madrid are both believed to be monitoring Neves with interest.
      And Wolves would rather sell their talisman to a club abroad, rather than a Prem rival.
      Irrespective of strong interest from elsewhere, Neves is unlikely to kick up a fuss.
      The midfielder has a brilliant relationship with club chiefs at Molineux, having played there since 2017.

      And if a move wasn’t to materialise this summer, he could even pen a new deal in September so as not to leave Wolves for nothing in 2024.
      Neves has made 244 appearances for Wolves since joining from Porto in 2017.
      He helped them to the Championship title in his first season, as well as playing a key role in their run to the Europa League quarter-finals in the 2019-20 campaign. More

      French international Martial has been training for over a week but still will not be risked in the squad for today’s FA Cup quarter-final with Fulham.
      The ex-Monaco ace was last in action when he was taken off at half time in the Manchester Derby win over City in January.
      And he has missed a whopping 30 games already this season due to hip, back, Achilles and hamstring injuries.
      Martial last completed a full match for United 18 months ago but he has still managed to score six and produce two assists in his limited outings this term.

      His contract expires at the end of next season – but his manager has insisted that the ace is NOT playing for his future yet.
      Ten Hag said: “I don’t think it is the right moment to be the case.
      “I believe in him, every time he is available he really contributes to the team performance, the level of the team is upgrading when he is available.
      “We are working with him to get fit and be available.”

      Man Utd star Alex Telles not wanted by Sevilla on permanent transfer after full-back’s loan spell

      by

      But Telles was deemed surplus to requirements at United by Erik ten Hag.
      He made just 26 appearances last season, netting once in the Champions League and providing four assists in the Premier League.
      That led to him joining Sevilla on a season-long loan back at the beginning of the campaign
      That agreement between the two clubs, who have just been drawn together in the Europa League quarter finals, did not include an option to buy.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      However, the Daily Mirror is now claiming that they have no intentions to try and keep him.
      Discussing his future recently, Telles said: “I don’t think about the future because that depends on what I do now. Now I have to play and train.
      “I’ve always said that I’m happy at Sevilla, I’m treated very well and now I have to play and do my best, which is the most important thing.”
      Tyrell Malacia, 23, arrived at Old Trafford at the start of the season to add further competition at left-back.

      And it has been Luke Shaw that has been Ten Hag’s preferred choice there.

      It seems highly-unlikely that Telles will be given an opportunity to impress back at United, which means he looks set to have to find himself a new club.
      He has featured 26 times so far this term for Sevilla.
      But despite their progress in Europe, they have struggled domestically, sitting a lowly 13th in LaLiga. More

      However, he looks set to miss the rest of the season after boss Erik ten Hag confirmed that the winger will be sidelined long-term with an ankle injury he sustained last week.
      The unfortunate ace is still coming to terms with the blow, but he was seen out and about on Friday afternoon in Hale Village.
      Garnacho was pictured leaving Cibo Restaurant on crutches after a late family lunch.
      Meanwhile, it comes in the same week that the livewire made a huge decision regarding his international future.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Garnacho was born in Madrid and has represented Spain at youth level but qualifies for Lionel Scaloni’s World Cup winners due to his mother being born in Argentina.
      He initially received a call-up to the South American country’s senior squad for two World Cup qualifiers a year ago but did not make an appearance in either game.
      After scoring four goals in four caps for their U20s to help them win the 2022 Maurice Revello Tournament he then missed out on the squad for Qatar in November.
      That allegedly led to Spain getting back in touch with him to try and persuade him to switch his allegiance – but Garnacho allegedly politely declined.

      He was then included in the Argentina squad for their upcoming friendlies with Panama and Curacao only for the blow he suffered against Southampton on Sunday to rule him out.
      Bernardo Romeo, coordinator of Argentina’s youth teams, was the one to reveal to publication Ole that the United ace “had been called by the coordinator of Spain’s teams”.
      He said: “Alejandro Garnacho was very clear, he told me that he answered him out of respect, but he has decided to play for Argentina.”
      Romero added that the attacker “is very convinced of playing for the Argentine National Team. You enter the house and he has all the photos with Messi.”
      Garnacho, who moved to Old Trafford from Atletico Madrid in October 2020, said after he pulled out of the latest Argentina squad: “It is difficult to put into words how I feel at this moment.
      “I am disappointed to miss the opportunity to be with my teammates from the Argentine national team, in what would have been a great moment of pride for me and my family.” More

      Mikel Arteta’s side also hold a huge 16-point advantage over Erik ten Hag’s Man Utd with just 11 games remaining.
      That is despite their significantly smaller wage budget.
      In fact, Arsenal have the smallest wage bill of any of the traditional “Big Six”.
      According to The Mirror, the league leaders pay their players just shy of £98million each year.

      The annual wage bill for each Premier League club
      That is a world away from the biggest budget in the Premier League – which is held by Chelsea at £212m.
      Todd Boehly’s £600m spending spree over the last nine months has seen them edge ahead of Man Utd in the wage bill standings – with the Red Devils shelling out £211m.
      They are followed by Man City at £182m, Liverpool at £158m and Tottenham at £110m.
      Then come Arsenal – the first side limiting their wage bill to under the £100m mark.

      The biggest budgets outside of the top six come from Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle – all between £76m and £90m.
      They are followed by Leicester, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Wolves and Southampton.
      Among the most threadbare wage bills are Leeds, Bournemouth and seventh-place Brighton – who spend just £35m per year on their players’ salaries.
      But the smallest annual wage bill is Brentford’s.
      Thomas Frank’s entire squad earns just over £30m per year – but are punching well above their financial weight as they sit eighth in the Premier League table. More

      Mount is understood to be after a significant pay rise from his current wages of around £80,000 per week.
      And he is reluctant to sign a huge long-term commitment like compatriot Reece James.
      Chelsea’s influx of players has also left Mount pushed down the pecking order.
      Now the Daily Mail has claimed that he has appointed a new agent to look after him.

      Neil Fewings, who previously worked for Wasserman Media Group but who is now the UK managing partner of ROOF, is in charge of Mount’s interests.
      And the publication states that it is “the strongest indication yet that he is set to leave Stamford Bridge” at the end of the season.
      Chelsea have insisted that they have made their final offer regarding a new contract and are reluctant to risk losing him for nothing next year.
      And that could lead to them trying to cash in on their academy product this summer with both United and Liverpool waiting in the wings to pounce and sign him.

      Now they have “sought more specialist assistance to negotiate with other clubs”.
      And with mounting interest in the ace, with Newcastle also keen, the “change of approach may already be paying off”.
      While it remains to be seen whether he will stay or go, rival English clubs have been put on alert by reports of a £50MILLION price tag. More
