Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on a major deal for Benfica talent Joao Neves and the Ligue 1 champions hope to have the transfer sealed next week, which is great news for Man United.
There were positive talks between all parties involved in the deal on Thursday with details of the transfer being discussed. According to Fabrizio Romano, PSG are offering Benfica a package worth €70m plus some players for Neves, with one star being Renato Sanches.
The transfer journalist states that the French giants are closing in on the youngster and hope to have a deal for the Portuguese star concluded next week.
The 19-year-old has been one of Europe’s hottest talents since making his Benfica debut in 2022 and last season went to another level in Portugal. The midfielder featured in an incredible 55 matches for the Lisbon-based outfit and that resulted in Neves earning a call-up to the Portugal squad for Euro 2024.
The signing of the Portuguese talent is a major coup for PSG but it is also good news for Man United, with the Manchester club still interested in signing Manuel Ugarte this summer.
