Manchester United, which won the league after 2 weeks by defeating Everton 2-0 at home in the 28th week of the Premier League with the goals scored by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, determined its midfield target for the new season transfer period.
According to the news in the Mirror, it was stated that Manchester United was interested in Joao Neves, who plays for Benfica, and could make an offer to add the young player to his squad during the summer transfer window.
While it is reported that Benfica will demand at least 100 million pounds for the transfer of the young player, it is noted that the club’s new partner Jim Ratcliffe is ready to approve this transfer.
IT MAY BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE TRANSFER
If Manchester United signs Joao Neves from Benfica, the Portuguese player could become the second most expensive midfield transfer.
If 100 million pounds is paid for the transfer, Neves will be recorded as the 2nd most expensive midfield transfer after Enzo Fernandes.
In the current list, Enzo Fernandez is followed by Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo, Paul Pogba and Jude Bellingham.
On the other hand, Joao Neves will be Manchester United’s most expensive transfer if the transfer happens.
JOAO NEVES’ PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON
Joao Neves, who trained in Benfica infrastructure, was promoted to the A team last summer.
The 19-year-old player, who played in 43 matches this season, recorded 2 goals and 2 assists.
