Benfica may be forced to sell midfielder Joao Neves this summer in order to balance their books. The club has been holding out for his release clause of €120m but may have to lower their asking price due to financial difficulties. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Manchester United are all interested in signing Neves, with City and United sending observers to watch him play.
Bernardo Silva has expressed his admiration for Neves, stating that he believes the young player would be a great addition to Manchester City. Silva highlighted Neves’s success during the previous season and expressed his desire for him to join the team.

Neves’s potential transfer to City or another club remains uncertain, with Benfica’s need to sell potentially impacting the negotiations. While the midfielder’s release clause is high, clubs such as City and United continue to monitor the situation closely. Ultimately, Neves’s future will depend on Benfica’s decision to sell and the willingness of interested clubs to make a move for the talented young player.
