Manchester City has a history of signing top young players from foreign clubs, with recent examples being Jeremy Doku and Josko Gvardiol. In the current transfer window, the club is linked with several players from top European leagues. Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly interested in beating City to the signing of Joao Neves, a young talent on City’s radar. Fabrizio Romano revealed PSG’s interest in Neves and their willingness to let Manu Ugarte leave for Manchester United as part of the deal.
Neves, a 19-year-old defensive midfielder with a €120m release clause, has attracted interest from City, PSG, and Manchester United. Despite previous reports of City’s interest, Neves is said to be only considering a move to PSG. This could complicate City’s efforts to sign him, especially with PSG’s determination to secure his transfer. Despite encouragement from Bernardo Silva for Neves to join City, it seems that the midfielder is leaning towards a move to the French club.
The competition for Neves’s signature highlights the intense rivalry among top clubs for young talent in the transfer market. City face a tough challenge in acquiring Neves, with PSG’s strong interest and the player’s apparent preference for a move to the Paris club. Despite their track record of signing young talents, City may have to navigate a difficult path to secure Neves’ services in the current transfer window.
