Juventus is also in the running for David Neres, the Brazilian winger on Benfica’s list for next season.
The Italian club will reformulate the squad and are looking for a player with the characteristics of the Brazilian forward. Juventus has already probed David Neres, found A BALL.
Heavy competition for the eagles, but that doesn’t take away the interest of the reds in the 25-year-old player, hired by Shakhtar from Ajax in January this year, but still without games for the Ukrainians, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Benfica intensified interest in David Neres after FIFA authorized an additional transfer window for players playing in Ukraine and Russia. The winger and compatriot Tetê were two cases analyzed by SAD incarnate. But eyes were on David Neres, an interest reinforced by the hiring of Roger Schmidt, PSV coach and future coach incarnate.
The hiring of David Neres, however, has a great degree of complexity. The problem is not with economic rights. Shakhtar bought David Neres for €12 million, but have not yet settled the entire €17 million from the sale of Pedrinho, a Brazilian who left Benfica for Ukraine last summer. The biggest problem is in the salary of David Neres.
For the Brazilian, who has not competed since December, playing for Benfica, he will have to agree to lower the salary he earns at Shakhtar.
