Joao Neves is wanted by the Reds and could be an option in the future transfer. The high interest in Neves has made Benfica keen to extend his contract, but they may not be able to convince the player that he wants to leave. According to him, his contract does not expire until 2028. Perhaps Benfica’s hopes of securing a new contract reflect a degree of desperation. His current term is four years.
Liverpool are expected to make a bid for Benfica super-talent Joao Neves, with the youngster set to have a very special career. Searching for a new no. 6 at Anfield continues after Fabinho moved from the Premier League to the Saudi Professional League this summer. Wataru Endo has adapted well to Jurgen Klopp’s complicated tactics, but Liverpool still need a defensive midfielder.
According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, Benfica are awaiting a bid from Liverpool for the super talent, who is valued at £130m.Manchester United are in pole position but Liverpool are more attractive as the Red Devils haven’t won the Premier League since 2013.
