With the transfer window scheduled to open on June 14, 2024, clubs have begun to show their cards in terms of the players to be signed with the main goal of boosting the overall performance of the club in the 2024/2025 club football season.
Among the sought-after talents is 19-year-old João Neves from Benfica, who has caught the attention of two top Premier League teams, Manchester United and Arsenal both of which are looking to complete a move for him in the June 2024 transfer window.
Neves delivered an outstanding performance in the 2023/2024 season, earning his first call-up to Portugal’s 26-man squad for Euro 2024. Reports indicate that Benfica is open to selling Neves but demands no less than £120 million, which is his release clause.
Neves’ ability to control the midfield and his dedication to the ball have secured him a place in the first team and garnered admiration from fans and pundits alike. Given his current trajectory, the future looks exceptionally bright for this young star.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal have reportedly made initial bids of £51 million for the young Portuguese star, but these were swiftly rejected by Benfica. As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen if the mounting pressure will lead Benfica to reconsider its high asking price.
