Paris Saint-Germain are said to be close to finalizing a deal for SL Benfica midfielder João Neves. If they pull it off, they’ll have beaten Manchester United to this promising young talent.
A recent report from Record suggests that Neves prefers a move to PSG rather than Manchester United. The Portuguese outlet also expects that Neves’ transfer to the Parisian club should be wrapped up by next week.
A BOLA also reports that Neves is expected to sign a five-year contract with PSG, with an annual salary of €5 million. The transfer fee is said to be around €70 million, and negotiations are in the final stages.
Transfer window expert Fabrizio Romano provided more information on Thursday as it seems the Neves transfer is on the verge of happening for the Parisians.
According to Romano, PSG is getting closer to finalizing the deal for Neves. A positive new round of talks has taken place today, and the Ligue 1 champions aim to wrap things up next week.
