Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have made a formal bid to Benfica for the transfer of João Neves. This move follows the agreement on personal terms between the player and the club, as reported earlier this week.
Advanced Negotiations
Talks between PSG and Benfica have been ongoing for several days, with the official proposal now submitted to advance the deal. João Neves has expressed his desire to join PSG and is enthusiastic about working under the guidance of Luis Enrique. The project presented by PSG’s director, Campos, has played a significant role in swaying Neves towards the French giants.
Benfica’s Stance
Benfica president Rui Costa confirmed the ongoing discussions, stating, “There’s a proposal for João, yes. We’re discussing the amount. I never said that João would leave only for €120m.” This indicates that while Benfica is open to negotiations, the final transfer fee is still under discussion.
The Bigger Picture
The potential acquisition of João Neves adds to PSG’s ambitions, with the club also being linked to other high-profile players such as Victor Osimhen. The combination of these talents could significantly bolster PSG’s squad as they aim for success in domestic and European competitions.
PSG’s formal bid for João Neves marks a crucial step in what could be a significant transfer for the club. With personal terms agreed and negotiations with Benfica advancing, PSG fans will be eagerly anticipating the potential arrival of Neves. His enthusiasm for joining PSG and working under Luis Enrique suggests that this move could be mutually beneficial for the player and the club. As discussions continue, the football world will be watching closely to see if PSG can secure this promising talent.
