Paris Saint-Germain is still looking for a midfielder to strengthen its squad. And it is towards Joao Neves, a young Benfica player, that the eyes of the Parisian leaders have turned. The 19-year-old midfielder, who has just played in the Euro with Portugal, has a release clause set at 120 million euros. An amount that does not scare the Parisian club, which has already made two offers to its Portuguese counterpart.
The first Parisian offer amounted to 70 million euros, but it was rejected by the Lisbon leaders. But according to
CNN PortugalPSG returned to the charge with a new proposal of 90 million euros, accompanied by a player whose identity has not been revealed.
Ugarte could facilitate the operation
According to the media The game, Joao Neves’ arrival in Paris could also be facilitated by Manuel Ugarte’s departure. The Uruguayan midfielder is attracting interest from Manchester United, who have already started discussions with the Parisian management. A transfer of the former Sporting player would allow the Red and Blue to recover funds and get closer to the envelope needed to recruit the Portuguese star.
The question remains, however, whether the Aguias star is really interested in joining the capital club. Indeed, the Tavira native is also in talks with Benfica for a pay rise, which leaves doubts about his intentions.
