According to Portuguese media, Benfica have reportedly turned down a £51 million bid for Neves, making the Premier League club a clear target for a transfer.

Benfica is eager tо hоld оn tо the 19-year-оld fоr anоther seasоn despite his £105 milliоn release clause, which is the same amоunt Chelsea was cоmpelled tо pay fоr Enzо Fernandes 18 mоnths agо.According to Record, the player and Benfica have already discussed a new deal that includes a wage boost. Concerns over a possible summer transfer have led Neves to reject that suggestion.

According to the source, talks might begin around £85 million, but Benfica president Rui Costa is aiming for a cost as near to the release clause as possible in the event of Neves’ departure.

In preparation for this summer’s European Championship, Neves has teamed up with United captain Bruno Fernandes.In the past, Fernandes has praised the young midfielder’s ascent and thought United should be interested in signing him.

On the other hand, another Portugal international Bernardo Silva has reportedly asked Neves to think about joining Manchester City.

This isn’t a picnic. “Many clubs want him because of his success last season,” Silva remarked of the athlete.

I would love to have him on my team because he is Portuguese and he is a player who I enjoy. Still, I wish him nothing but the best.

No need for me to try to persuade him. The way João Neves works and the enthusiasm he gives to the game make him already a convincing player.

The entry process will be simple for a lot of clubs. Whatever he decides, may it be the best one for him. He is well-positioned for great things to come if he maintains this level of enthusiasm.
