A tremendous boost for Manchester United as they move “towards completing the deal” to sign a top player who is open to a move to Old Trafford and is worth £84.7 million overall. According to reports from sources close to Old Trafford yesterday, the Red Devils made a 70 million euro offer to sign the player.😳🙀

Reports from Portugal recently indicated that the Red Devils had submitted a €70 million bid to acquire the player.

However, today’s edition of O Jogo contradicts this, asserting that no such offer was made by the Old Trafford club.

According to the newspaper, Benfica has yet to receive a formal bid for the 19-year-old midfielder.

Despite this, both Manchester United and PSG remain highly interested in signing Joao Neves and are progressing toward finalizing the deal.

Neves has excelled in the No. 6 role for Benfica, and even though his appearances at the European Championships have been limited, his market value remains very high.

O Jogo notes that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who has recently extended his contract, prioritizes Neves as a crucial addition to strengthen the midfield.

To secure Neves from Benfica, the Premier League team will need to meet the €100 million (£84.7 million) valuation.

Neves featured in no fewer than 55 matches across all competitions for the Liga Nos club last season and could potentially be a long-term successor to Manchester United’s Casemiro.
