João Neves has actually supposedly signed with Paris Saint-Germain as reports suggest on Thursday. Moreover, the capital club would have beaten Manchester United for the SL Benfica standout.
Neves is set to sign up with PSG in an offer valued at around €60 million, with an extra €10 million in prospective add-ons. As part of the plan, PSG midfielder Renato Sanches will sign up with Benfica on loan.
The 12-time French champs warded off interest from numerous European clubs, consisting of Arsenal and Manchester United, to protect Neves’ services. The Portuguese worldwide, flexible in numerous midfield positions, will now work out individual terms before settling his transfer to the French capital.
Football Transfers’ Robin Bairner composed in his most current column why he thinks Premier League clubs weren’t able to vanquish PSG for the midfielder.
“England’s big clubs have been hamstrung by the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), limiting the number of big moves that can be made before sales,” Bairner composed in his PSG Talk column. “Even Manchester United, one-time suitors for Neves, have been unable to challenge PSG in this case after spending in excess of €60m for Leny Yoro—a fee that the French side balked at.”
The midfielder had a standout season for Benfica in 2015, including in 33 league matches and playing every minute on their journey to the Europa League quarter-finals, where they were ultimately beat by Marseille.
