Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Portuguese international midfielder Joao Neves this summer.
Joao Neves has been outstanding for PSG since joining the Ligue 1 club from SL Benfica, and a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes has claimed that Manchester City are lining up a €100 million move to sign the Portuguese international.
Neves has the quality to develop into one of the best central midfielders in world football, and Manchester City would do well to secure his signature. The defending champions have had a disappointing season, and they are unlikely to win the Premier League this term.
They will want to bounce back strongly and fight for major trophies once again. The Citizens need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and they have set their sights on Joao Neves.
Players like Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes have been underwhelming for Manchester City, and they will need to replace both players in the summer. In addition, Kevin De Bruyne has already announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Manchester City have already signed Nico Gonzalez this year, and signing Neves would complete their midfield. The talented young midfielder could be excited about the possibility of moving to the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether PSG decide to sanction his departure.
PSG will not want to lose Joao Neves
The French champions have put together a talented squad, and they will not want to weaken the side by selling a key player. Les Parisiens are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell players for money.
Also, PSG have been exceptional this season, and they are one of the favourites to win the UEFA Champions League. If they manage to win the European trophy, that midfielder could decide to stay put and be a part of their project for the long run.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are one of the biggest clubs in the world as well, and joining them would allow the midfielder to play alongside world-class players and work with the best manager of his generation in Pep Guardiola.
