SL Benfica’s midfielder João Neves is drawing attention from major European clubs this summer. The 19-year-old is also on Portugal’s squad for UEFA Euro 2024, and a standout performance in the tournament could boost his appeal even further.
Liverpool, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the suitors. Benfica knows this young talent is in high demand, so they’re committed to not letting him go for a low price.
It was recently reported that Benfica’s sporting director, Rui Costa, firmly stated that they would not entertain offers below €100 million (£85 million).
The high asking price could be challenging for a club like PSG to meet, but they might aim to negotiate by offering players who could catch the eye of the Portuguese giants.
According to Sport (h/t Diario AS), PSG aims to negotiate a lower price for Neves by offering Renato Sanches and Carlos Soler as part of the deal.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions hope to reduce the Portuguese club’s asking price, which stands at around €100 million, by including these two players who are not in Paris’ current plans.
During the 2023-24 season, the 19-year-old played in 55 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and assisting twice.
