This summer is shaping up to be eventful for three prominent Premier League clubs. Liverpool has appointed Arne Slot, while Erik ten Hag has been granted a reprieve at Manchester United despite initial expectations of his dismissal. Arsenal, having narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City, aims to bolster its midfield.
Premier League sides keen on Neves but won’t pay release clause
All three clubs are focused on improving their squads, with mutual interest in SL Benfica’s midfielder Joao Neves. Neves has been a topic of discussion due to his consistent high-level performances in Portugal. Despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, neither club is willing to activate his hefty £102 million release clause.
Neves “has everything” and has been told where to move this summer
Manchester United has also been linked with Neves, although recent reports suggest he is likely to remain in Portugal this summer. Transfer market expert Guilherme Von Cupper has praised Neves’ abilities, suggesting he would be a valuable addition to United, particularly in light of their need for composed midfielders adept at ball progression and decision-making.
While United’s pursuit of Neves remains uncertain, their interest indicates potential movement, particularly if they succeed in offloading defensive midfielder Casemiro.
