The PSG Post, which reported the news of Paris Saint-Germain, reported on the 1st (Korea time), “PSG will sign a contract with defensive midfielder João Neves (19).”
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European football transfer market, also announced on his social media account that “Neves is moving to PSG.”
According to Romano, Neves will transfer to PSG through a basic transfer fee of 60 million euros and an option of 10 million euros. Neves will undergo a PSG medical test soon.
Spanish media AS also reported on the contract agreement between PSG and Neves on the 30th of last month, saying, “We will have a medical test on Friday. The contract period is until 2029.”
Neves, born in 2004, joined the Benfica youth team in 2016. After being promoted to the Benfica B team in July 2022, he signed a professional contract with the first team in January last year.

Neves has also been included in the Portugal national team. He made his debut through an A-match game in October last year. Neves also made the final roster for Euro 2024, and played two matches.
Manchester United also had an eye on Neves. World-class defensive midfielder Casemiro has shown signs of aging since last season. However, PSG seems to be winning the bid to recruit Neves.
