Agent Jorge Mendes says Wolves ace Pedro Neto would already be at a Champions League club if not for last year's knee injury.
Neto is now back in action, with Arsenal and Liverpool among clubs keen.
Mendes told Record: "Pedro Neto had played five minutes at Braga and left for Lazio because the president trusted what we told him.
"In the meantime, he got back what he had paid – at the time Pedro Neto was about to go to Benfica, but he went to Wolverhampton. And he wasn't sold for more than 100 million euros (£86m) because he got injured.
"It's my life and what fulfils me and what I'll continue to do."
