We have also shown it with Gonçalo Guedes. What we want are good players and if we can have players who also know the house and Portuguese football it is an advantage. Now, all these names are speculation, they are part of the market moment”.
Paris Saint-Germain’s offer confirmed for John Neves: “What I can say is that there is a proposal on the table. I will not sit here and talk about the size of this proposal. We are evaluating but at this moment João Neves continues to be a Benfica player.”
The 19-year-old has a release clause of 120 million euros, which will not be paid. According to the French press, the Parisians will make an offer of 70 million euros. João Neves’ position is clear: he wants to leave his homeland to sign for PSG. Which is why the French club will have no problem in signing an agreement with the Portuguese midfielder. Last season, the midfielder made 55 appearances in all competitions, scoring 3 goals. His performances convinced Portugal coach Roberto Martinez to take him to Euro 2024 despite his young age. Neves was used on two occasions in the tournament, playing a brief snippet against Turkey and having a chance to start against Georgia.
