Portuguese midfielder Joao Neves has rejected a new contract proposal from Benfica amid interest from Manchester United.
Manchester United is keen to strengthen their midfield this summer, with Joao Neves being a top target. However, acquiring the Benfica star will be expensive, especially considering United’s current financial limitations. The club must sell players before making new acquisitions. Neves, 19, is seen as a potential replacement for Casemiro, who is likely to leave Old Trafford before the upcoming season. Despite this, United has yet to finalize their choice for Casemiro’s successor.
Reports last week indicated that Benfica quickly turned down a £51 million offer from United, according to Record. The main hurdle for United is Neves’s £105 million release clause, the same amount Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez 18 months ago. According to the Metro, Neves has now rejected Benfica’s offer to extend his contract.
Neves has also attracted interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich. Despite this widespread attention, United’s pursuit is reportedly the most advanced. Nevertheless, the club is cautious about overspending to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Neves is set to join Manchester United players Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot in the Portugal squad for the upcoming European Championships. United captain Fernandes praised Neves, indicating he is ready for the Premier League. Fernandes stated, “I don’t know if the United rumors are true, but I know he is ready for that big leap. He is an excellent player and is with the national team. That’s why big clubs are interested in him.”
Neves has made a significant impact since breaking into Benfica’s first team, succeeding Enzo Fernandez. There is speculation that he could similarly fill the gap at United if Casemiro departs.
