Nineteen-year-old defensive midfielder Joao Neves has emerged as an important figure at Benfica, making noteworthy contributions since he first appeared last year.
As Casemiro is rumored to be considering a move to Saudi Arabia, Manchester United is said to be considering Neves as a potential replacement, fitting the club’s preferred player type.
Yet, Neves is bound by a contract until 2028, suggesting that any effort to secure his services would probably demand a substantial offer to convince Benfica to let go of the talented midfielder.
