Joao Neves, a 19-year-old Portuguese midfielder from SL Benfica, is seriously sought after by Manchester United. O Jogo and Sport Witness claims the Red Devils have made major efforts to guarantee Neves for the next summer transfer window. Neves is exactly the young holding midfielder Manchester United has been looking for.
Joao Neves has emerged as a particularly outstanding player in Portuguese football rather fast. With names like Antonio Silva, Goncalo Inacio, and Goncalo Ramos becoming well-known both at club and international levels, Portugal has lately developed several interesting young prospects. Originally from Tavira, Neves started his football career with his hometown club before moving to Benfica’s junior system in 2016. His progress has been quick; he debuted in the first team in January 2023 and under Coach Roger Schmidt has become a major Benfica player.
Manchester United Have Accelerated Their Race To Sign The 19-year-old Portuguese International
Neves has already made 75 appearances for Benfica in his brief career, helping to score four goals and three assistants. Nine caps for the Portuguese national team have also come from his performances; he participated in UEFA Euro 2024 among others. Several elite European teams have had an eye on this young talent; Manchester United leads the chase.
Given their hunt for a new holding midfielder, United’s curiosity in Neves makes sense. Casemiro’s future is unknown, hence the team wants to improve their status. Manchester United is moving on with their quest even if their attempt to get Neves previously fell short. Benfica, meanwhile, could insist on a significant release clause for the upcoming star.
The Red Devils are resolved to get Neves to Old Trafford even while talks carry on. Should they be able to satisfy Benfica’s needs, the young guy may soon be making Premier League history.

Reports from Turkey indicate Liverpool is showing interest in signing Baris Alper Yilmaz this summer. Currently playing for Galatasaray, the 24-year-old assailant has drawn the attention of numerous elite teams. For some time, both Manchester United and Tottenham have been following Yilmaz.
With Galatasaray, Yilmaz had a great 2023/24 season scoring seven goals and dishing out twelve assists. His outstanding achievements have brought his value €30 million. Liverpool’s participation in the Yilmaz race gives the story of transfer fresh angles. The club will have to decide whether or not to formally bid shortly.
Given a player of Yilmaz’s quality and potential, the €30 million asking price is seen realistic. Liverpool’s financial situation makes them probably able to finance this move. Whether they will act in line with their interest and provide anything is yet to be seen.
A trip to the Premier League may attract Yilmaz. One big chance for him would be joining Liverpool. Liverpool is among the most famous teams in the world, hence many players would find great attraction in the opportunity to play there.
Two other important teams with the capacity to cover the asking price are Manchester United and Tottenham. Should Jadon Sancho go, Manchester United might find Yilmaz necessary. Sancho needs consistent playing; if he leaves, Yilmaz may be a great substitute on the attacking front-line.
