Benfica Starlet Rejects Contract Offer After Manchester United Bid Gets Turned Down.
Joao Neves, the talented Portugal international, has recently turned down a new contract offer from Benfica, sparking significant interest from Manchester United.
Manchester United is keen to strengthen their midfield this summer, and Joao Neves has emerged as a key target. However, acquiring the Benfica star will be an expensive endeavor, especially given United’s current financial limitations. The club must sell players before making any new acquisitions. Neves, just 19 years old, is viewed as a potential replacement for Casemiro, who is expected to leave Old Trafford before the start of the new season. Despite this, United has yet to finalize their decision on who will succeed Casemiro.
Recent reports from Record revealed that Benfica swiftly dismissed a £51 million bid from United last week. The primary hurdle for United is Neves’s £105 million release clause, which is the same amount Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez 18 months ago. According to the Metro, Neves has now declined Benfica’s offer to renew his contract.
Neves’s impressive performances have also attracted the attention of other major clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich. Despite the widespread interest, United’s pursuit appears to be the most advanced. However, the club is wary of overspending and wants to avoid repeating past financial missteps.
Neves is set to join Manchester United players Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot in the Portugal squad for the upcoming European Championships. Fernandes has praised Neves, suggesting that he is ready for the Premier League. Fernandes commented, “I don’t know if United rumors are true, but I know he is ready for that big jump. He is an excellent player, he’s with the national team. That’s also why the big clubs are after him.”
Since breaking into Benfica’s first team and succeeding Enzo Fernandez, Neves has made a significant impact. There is speculation that he could similarly fill the gap at United if Casemiro departs.
