Fabrizio Romano Lauds Former Benfica, Man Utd Standouts for Summer Moves to PSG, Napoli | OneFootball

The summer transfer window has been closed for over a week, and there’s no analysis of which players made the right decision to leave and start new ventures elsewhere. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently stated his two favorite transfers of the summer.

Paris Saint-Germain secured ex-SL Benfica standout João Neves this past summer and he’s instantly fitted into the squad, recording four assists in three matches. Last month, the Ligue 1 side completed the move for Neves, reportedly paying €60 million plus €10 million in add-ons.

This business from the Parisians has Romano praising sporting advisor Luis Campos and the rest of the management for making a shrewd deal that’s impacting the squad right away.

“My favourite deal has been João Neves to Paris Saint-Germain,” Romano said on the latest episode of CaughtOffside’s The Debrief podcast. “I think Paris Saint-Germain signed a fantastic, fantastic player for the present and also for the future. I still believe that the future of João Neves is going to be super bright. The potential of this boy is something really, really special,” the transfer expert said.

“Signing a quality player like him with a big potential for €60m plus €10m in add-ons, I think for modern football and modern transfer markets, it’s an incredible price. It’s kind of a bargain. So I think PSG signed a gem with Neves, one of my favourite transfers.”

Romano notes that the other transfer he’s a fan of is former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay switching to Napoli. McTominay’s move to Serie A also helped the Red Devils land former PSG standout Manuel Ugarte on the final day of the transfer window.

“I also really appreciated Scott McTominay to Napoli,” Romano added. “I think for Serie A, he’s perfect. For Antonio Conte, he’s perfect. It was a very good signing for Napoli. So I mentioned these two, but Neves is my favourite.”
