Arsenal & Man Utd Must Pay €120M for Joao Neves Transfer: Premier League sides Manchester United and Arsenal have reportedly been told that Benfica’s Joao Neves will cost €120m to buy this summer.
- Arsenal and Man Utd interested in Neves: Both clubs are eyeing the young talent following his breakout season with Benfica.
- Benfica want €120m for teenager: Benfica demands Neves’ release clause of €120 million (£101.4m/$128.2m).
- Clubs unwilling to go near that figure: Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal are willing to meet the high asking price at this time.
Joao Neves has had a stellar season with Benfica, drawing significant attention from top European clubs. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Benfica insists on the full release clause for the young midfielder, setting the price at €120 million.
Manchester United are in search of a replacement for Casemiro, who is expected to move to Saudi Arabia. Arsenal, on the other hand, might be looking to fill the void left by Thomas Partey’s anticipated departure, though they have Declan Rice as their primary midfield anchor. Both Premier League giants are hesitant to meet Benfica’s current demands but may consider negotiations if the asking price becomes more reasonable.
