PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said:
“We are delighted to welcome João Neves to the Paris Saint-Germain family. João is one of the most talented players in Portugal and the world. He was highly motivated to join Paris Saint-Germain and determined to fight for the jersey, which is what we expect from all our players. We continue to build a fantastic young team at Paris Saint-Germain – based on teamwork, talent and collective spirit – which is the foundation of our club’s great future.”
Neves has played 75 times for Benfica since his debut in January 2023. Last season, he featured in all but one of Benfica’s Primeira Liga games and was named in the team of the season. The midfielder has been capped nine times by Portugal and featured twice at the European Championship earlier this summer.
