Man United is in the lead in the race to sign the £105 million marvelkid from Benfica, and they are willing to go above and beyond to sign him.
According to Record, Manchester United is in the lead in the competition to sign Benfica sensation Joao Neves and is willing to put in a lot of work to sign him.
After Casemiro’s subpar performances, the Red Devils have been favorites to sign a new defensive midfield player in the upcoming transfer window.
The Brazilian’s second season at the team was underwhelming. His minor injury kept him out of the FA Cup final, where he had started the match on the bench.
Numerous English teams are reportedly vying for Neves’ signature, with United leading the pack, according to O Jogo today (page 9).
The teenager is seen as a key player by Sir Jim Ratcliffe for his new team, and the club is willing to go above and beyond to secure his services.
The 19-year-old is now one of the world’s most sought-after young midfielders.
In his first full season with Benfica the previous season, he was outstanding. The young player won nearly six bouts per league appearance and had a 90% passing accuracy rate.
In addition, the Portuguese won 6.4 recoveries and two tackles per game. His amazing dribbling abilities also made it easy for him to escape confined spaces.
He would, in our opinion, be a great addition to the midfield, partnering Kobbie Mainoo. With Neves in the number six position, Mainoo could play at a higher position.
According to O Jogo, he currently has a £102 million release clause in his contract. Based on past transactions, Benfica might agree to a long-term payment schedule for his sale.
Neves has already been called a “excellent” player by United captain Bruno Fernandes, and he may play a significant part in enticing him to Old Trafford despite interest from other teams.
