Journalist Bruno Andrade confirmed that there is no way Manchester United will be able to negotiate a discount for their midfielder target this summer.

INEOS is expected to reform Manchester United over the summer months with the aim of bringing in new vitality. Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Donny van de Beek all have to leave while Erik ten Hag’s future looks bleak.

Man Utd is looking for the perfect partner for Kobbie Mainoo in midfield. Joao Neves continues to impress in Portugal for Benfica. He is likely to cost Manchester United about 100 million euros, according to his release clause.

Given Mainoo’s ideal partner in midfield, the teenager has played 54 matches in all competitions this season. Likely to be included in Portugal’s squad for EURO 2024, ESPN confirms INEOS is monitoring Neves’ development. The Red Devils could make a recruitment move this summer.

Sharing about the deal, journalist Bruno Andrade expressed:

” If there is a player that Benfica will not negotiate for less than his release clause it is Joao Neves. Other players like Antonio Silva, Anatoliy Trubin, and Benfica can all but Joao Neves is different. Or Neves leaves the club if the release clause is met or he stays.”

“The board of directors is aware that Neves’ participation in EURO will increase the chance of receiving the correct price as requested, so that desire is reasonable.”
