For several days now, the transfer of Joao Neves to Paris Saint-Germain, from Benfica, has been announced as imminent. Except that the officialization of this operation, estimated at 70 million euros (including ten in bonuses), has still not arrived.
This is all the more surprising given that the Portuguese international travelled to the French capital last Thursday to undergo his medical, which was successfully completed, and the Portuguese midfielder then returned to his homeland while the final details of his transfer are sorted out.
Joao Neves to PSG, still some details to settle
