Paris Saint-Germain should be able to finalize in the next few hours the star recruit of its offseason, or in any case one of the most expensive recruits of the summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, the essential pope of the scoop on the football planet, Joao Neves, the Portuguese midfielder of Benfica, has been in agreement with PSG for several days and a meeting is planned this week between all parties to try to finalize the operation;
The Italian insider, author of the famous gimmick “Here we go” when a transfer materializes, specifies that the transfer will be around 70 million and that Renato Sanches, who still belongs to PSG, will go the other way to return to his training club. It will still be necessary to monitor the progress of the negotiations, because if the meeting does not result in a deal, it is likely that the operation will not see the light of day, as Romano implies.
One of the continent’s biggest talents
Joao Neves, 19, had faced Olympique de Marseille in the Europa League this season with the Eagles and participated in Euro 2024 with Portugal a few weeks ago. He is considered one of the most talented and promising young players on the Old Continent in this role of defensive midfielder.
In parallel with this file, PSG still hopes to sell Manuel Ugarte to Manchester United, to continue the reconstruction and begin the post-Kylian Mbappé era. Rumors also evoke an interest in Jerdy Schouten, the Dutch midfielder of PSV Eindhoven, also present at the Euro with his selection. Clearly, the midfield is a priority for Luis Enrique and the Parisian management with a view to next season.
