According to reports, Manchester United have made an improved bid of €65m with add-ons to bring the Portuguese sensational to Old Trafford. Report states Benfica is ready to finalize deal with Manchester United. Manchester United stuns football world as they are close on makings João Neves deal official. Yes 🙌 this is what we all have been waiting to hear. The fans are all celebrating to this news🙀🙀🙀
Manchester United’s €60m (£51m) offer for Benfica midfielder Joao Neves has been declined, with Benfica demanding a higher fee, according to sources. Significant changes are expected at Old Trafford this summer following Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS’s purchase of a 27.7% share in the Premier League club from the Glazer family.
As United prepares for the summer transfer market, INEOS views this as a prime opportunity to establish their presence, signifying a new chapter at Old Trafford. Both incoming and outgoing high-profile transfers are anticipated, with names like Casemiro already stirring excitement. For Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team, this summer is a chance to show they can effectively manage a football club, distancing themselves from the previous turmoil under the Glazers.
Joao Neves has emerged as a standout talent among the numerous players linked to United in recent weeks. The young midfielder recently played alongside Bruno Fernandes for Portugal, impressing in their 4-2 win over Finland. Neves, only 19, controlled the midfield, demonstrating why INEOS is interested in him. FotMob rated his performance at 8.3, showcasing his impressive stats:
– Passes completed: 97/101 (96%)
– Chances created: 1
– Touches: 113
– Successful dribbles: 3/3 (100%)
– Passes into the final third: 15
– Tackles won: 2/3 (67%)
– Interceptions: 2
– Defensive actions: 5
– Recoveries: 6
– Duels won: 7/7 (100%)
Neves’ ability to control play from deep, combined with his defensive skills, makes him an appealing target for United. Despite his age, his potential is vast. United recently made a £51m bid for Neves, which was rejected. His release clause is set at £105m, a figure likely out of United’s budget this summer due to other needs. However, it is believed that a bid around £85m might be enough to finalize the deal.
INEOS sees Neves as an ideal addition to Manchester United, evoking memories of past Portuguese stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani. Alongside Kobbie Mainoo, another promising U20 midfielder, Neves could form a strong partnership at Old Trafford. Although both prefer having the ball, Mainoo’s physicality and Neves’ tenacity could create a balanced midfield duo. This potential pairing seems to be a priority for INEOS, with reports of multiple meetings with Neves’ agents.
Neves’ recent performances highlight his suitability for United, and it’s likely that this potential transfer will continue to be a hot topic throughout the summer.
