PSG's €120m bid to snatch Joao Neves from Benfica

To strengthen their midfield, PSG has made Joao Neves their top priority. They plan to accelerate the negotiations for the Benfica player after the Euro, which he is playing in with Portugal.

Joao Neves was one of the best players, if not the best player, for Benfica last season. The Portuguese international is attracting interest from both PSG and Manchester United.

Benfica is being demanded in this deal, seeking to receive 120 million euros for their young star. Having made him their priority for midfield reinforcement, PSG would like to include players such as Renato Sanches and Carlos Soler to reduce the price.

This Sunday, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on this matter. He explained that Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal have sent scouts to Portugal multiple times to observe Joao Neves. However, the club that has been most active in this pursuit is PSG.

The transfer market expert indicated that PSG's management has already contacted the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, with whom they have a very good relationship. Fabrizio Romano states that PSG will push hard after the Euro to reach an agreement with SL Benfica for Joao Neves.

Even though the Lisbon club hopes to keep their player, they will let him go if a club offers 120 million euros, the amount of his release clause. Fabrizio Romano concludes by explaining that PSG sees the same potential in Neves as they did in Vitinha.
