Joao Neves, a highly sought-after midfielder, is at the center of a transfer battle, with Manchester United currently leading the race for his signature this summer. According to reports, United have already submitted a proposal worth €60 million but will need to increase their offer to secure the deal.
As reported by A Bola, Paris Saint-Germain is also vying for the 19-year-old playmaker. While the French champions have yet to make a formal bid, they must act swiftly to compete with Manchester United, who are currently at the forefront of the pursuit.
Neves is under contract with Benfica for another four years and has a release clause set at €120 million. However, Benfica is reportedly willing to negotiate a total sum of £84.7 million (€100 million) to part with the “quality” star.
Neves has already achieved significant success in Portugal, including winning the Liga NOS trophy in the 2022-23 season. He is now in Germany for the Euros, where he will represent Portugal in their opening match against the Czech Republic. It is expected that Manchester United scouts will be closely monitoring his performance.
With Casemiro aging and Amrabat poised to return to Italy, Manchester United urgently needs to secure a top No. 6 midfielder for the upcoming season. The question remains whether United should submit an increased offer of £84.7 million to sign Joao Neves.
