Bookies have seen a flurry of bets on the Portuguese youngster making the switch.
Bookies have slashed odds on Ruben Neves moving to the Etihad in the upcoming transfer window from 5/1 into a best price of 10/3, with money continuing to pour in for the 21-year-old playmaker.
Reports suggest Pep Guardiola is keen to sign the midfielder following failed bids for Fred and Jorginho in the summer.
In total, 84% of all bets on his next permanent club after the January transfer window have been placed on City, despite bookies predicting a 1/6 chance he stays at the Molineux.
Neves arrived at the club for just £15m last summer and was nominated for Championship Player of the Year last season.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “Wolves and Neves have taken to Premier League football immediately, and any doubts over whether the Portuguese midfielder is the real deal are long gone.
“Any team in Europe would love to have him in their squad, but the real question is whether they can coax him away from Molineux?”
