Excitement is building at Manchester United as reports emerge of a potential transfer target that could strengthen their midfield. Joao Neves, a talented 19-year-old midfielder currently playing for Benfica, has caught the attention of the Red Devils. The news gets even more intriguing as Bruno Fernandes, United’s star midfielder, was spotted with Neves during Portugal’s national team training.
Could Bruno Fernandes be on a mission to bring his compatriot to Old Trafford? Fans are eagerly speculating about the possibility of the two Portuguese talents joining forces at Manchester United. Neves, often referred to as the “Bruno Fernandes 2.0,” is seen as the future of Portuguese football, following in the footsteps of legends like Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Manchester United will face strong competition from Juventus in their pursuit of Neves. Benfica is standing firm on their demands, insisting that any club interested in the young midfielder must meet his hefty release clause of €120 million (£109 million). It remаins to be seen whether United will be willing to meet this price tag or explore other options.
