Joao Neves, Lisbon’s Benfica’s next export

Benfica Lisbon is a club known throughout the world for its talented footballers who have dominated the most important European championships.

Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez and Gonzalo Ramos are just a few examples of those who have left the Estadio da Luz for big money in recent years.

Journalists of The Sun write that the Portuguese is ready to give another chance and sell the player for big money to Manchester United.

We are talking about Joao Neves, a 19-year-old football player who, at the beginning of 2023, established himself in the main team of “Benfica”.

With a market capitalization of just €20 million, the player has a huge release clause of €119 million.

The quoted source says Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag would be interested in the Portuguese and even sent scouts to watch him in the 0-1 draw between Estoril and Benfica.

Joao Nevesa is managed by Jorge Mendes and has been called up by Roberto Martinez to Portugal’s national football team for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Slovakia and Bosnia.

31 matches, one goal and two assists – these are the indicators of Joao Neves in the first team of the Lisbon “Benfica”.
