The English club intends to sell Brazilian Casemiro and replace him with the young Benfica player.
João Neves will be one of Manchester United’s priorities to reinforce the squad next January. The source of this information is the British daily ‘Mirror’, which adds that the young Benfica midfielder will be the ideal replacement for Casemiro, a player signed from Real Madrid for 70 million euros, but who could now be on his way out of Old Trafford. .
However, according to the same source, the English club has a major obstacle ahead of them in terms of signing the Portuguese international. The English newspaper states that Rui Costa, president of the Reds, has already made it known that he will not give up João Neves for amounts lower than his release clause (100 million euros).
The red midfielder has been a leading figure at Roger Schmidt’s Benfica this season, having participated in all 25 official games for the red club this season.
It remains to be seen whether Jim Ratcliffe’s recent entry into the English club (he bought 25% of the club) will mean an increase in investment in the Red Devils’ squad.
