Benfica midfielder Joao Neves has reportedly turned down a new contract offer from his club amid interest from Manchester United. The 19-year-old impressed last season, featuring in 33 matches, scoring three goals, and making two assists. Primarily a holding midfielder, Neves is a target for Manchester United as they seek to bolster their squad for the 2024-25 season.
Currently, United’s holding midfield position is filled by Brazilian Casemiro, who had an inconsistent season and is rumored to be considering a move to Saudi Arabia. Sofyan Amrabat, another midfielder, has yet to secure a permanent spot at Old Trafford. Neves’ performances last season have attracted interest from top European clubs, with Manchester United now gaining an advantage in their pursuit.
According to Portuguese outlet Record, Benfica wants to retain Neves and has begun discussions on new contract terms. However, Neves has reportedly rejected the offer, fueling speculation about a potential summer move. Neves extended his contract last year, which includes a Β£105 million release clause, and he is aware that a new agreement could make it harder for him to leave.
Benfica recently declined a Β£51 million bid from Manchester United for Neves, indicating they wouldn’t consider offers below Β£85 million. Besides United, Neves is also being monitored by Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain. His current contract with Benfica runs until the end of the 2027-28 season.
Neves will be spending the upcoming weeks with Manchester United players Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot in the Portugal squad for the European Championship in Germany. In March, Fernandes praised his young compatriot, suggesting he would thrive in the Premier League. “I donβt know if the United rumors are true, but I know he is ready for that big jump. He is an excellent player, currently with the national team. Thatβs also why the big clubs are pursuing him,” Fernandes said in an interview.
Manchester United is anticipated to undergo significant changes this summer, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe focusing on signing young, adaptable players rather than high-profile names, a strategy for which the club has faced criticism. With Kobbie Mainoo expected to be a key player alongside Fernandes next season, Neves could be an ideal addition to strengthen the midfield.
