Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Watch Wolves Teen Mateus Mané
The club face almost certain relegation to the Championship this summer. Mané has played in each of Wolves’ last twelve league games. He has two goals and two assists in eighteen appearances. These stats matter more because the team at Molineux is struggling.
Liverpool jumped into the race first. They met with the player’s representatives and are reportedly ready to bid this summer. Manchester United then spoke with his agent. However, INEOS stopped when they saw Wolves’ £50 million price tag.
Bayern Munich joined the hunt recently. They are offering a plan similar to the one they gave Michael Olise. At Molineux, manager Rob Edwards told his bosses he wants to keep Mané. He wants him even in the Championship. However, the costs of the second tier make that hard to do as summer gets closer.
