Wolves boss Bruno Lage is aware of transfer speculation swirling around Ruben Neves.

Lage says increasing speculation linking midfielder Ruben Neves with a summer move to Barcelona is "no surprise".

Neves, 25, has long been linked with the Spanish giants so Sunday's game could be his last home appearance for Wolves.

"If I was at [another] top club I would look for these kinds of players - they are what all the clubs want so it is no surprise to me," said Lage.

"With what Ruben did this season you can see how important he is for our team. He puts us on a different level so it is no surprise that other clubs are moving for this."

Neves is under contract until 2024 and Lage has not given up hope of persuading the Portugal international to stay.

"When I arrived here last year we were worried about Ruben [leaving], and he stayed at the club, so I really don't know," added Lage.

"Everything can change in one minute and anything can happen until the end of the market, so we have a long time in front of us to understand what will happen.

"If he stays, I believe he will be the same professional, and he will have the same mindset to do another great season with Wolves."
