Manchester United lead in the race to sign £84.7million quality player
Erik ten Hag – Manchester United manager
Joao Neves is a wanted midfielder in the market and as per reports, Man Utd lead in the race to secure his signing this summer.
The Old Trafford side have already moved in with a proposal worth 60 million euros but need a bigger fee to get the deal over the line.
As per A Bola, Paris Saint-Germain are now pushing to lure the 19-year-old play breaker as well.
The news source have mentioned that the French champions have not yet come up with an offer but they must do so at the earliest to beat the competition from English clubs, especially Man Utd, who are at ‘the head’ to sign Neves.
His current contract with Benfica still have four years left and he is protected by a huge release clause of 120 million euros.
However, as per the Portuguese media outlet, the Eagles want to agree a total sum of £84.7million (100 million euros) to sell the player.
He has already won two major titles in Portugal, including the Liga Nos trophy in 2022-23, and the “quality” star is now in Germany for the Euros.
The Seleccao will kick start their European Championships campaign against Czech Republic on Tuesday night and it will not be surprising if Man Utd scouts are present to watch Neves.
With Casemiro past his best and Amrabat set to return to Italy, the Red Devils must secure a top No.6 for the next season.
In your opinion, should Man Utd submit a second offer worth £84.7million to sign Joao Neves.

According to reports, Juventus have submitted a transfer bid for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.
Manchester United is believed to have received a bid in the region of £40 million from Juventus for Mason Greenwood.
The England international hasn’t played a single game for his boyhood club since January 2022 following his arrest for attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault – charges that were subsequently dropped.
Both Juventus and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in Greenwood, who had a successful loan spell at Getafe with 10 goals and six assists.
United value Greenwood at £50 million, while Juventus’ bid falls significantly short of this valuation, reportedly around €15-17 million.
Manchester United are still keen on offloading Greenwood permanently, to reinvest in other transfers but will not sell for a cut-price deal.
If a suitable offer does not materialize by June 30, Greenwood might return to Manchester United for pre-season training.
