Manchester United has their eye on Joao Nves, despite his astronomical PS103million Release Clause.
According to The Sun Erik ten Haag has sent scouts out to observe Neves (19), who is one of Benfica’s most outstanding performers in this season.
After Enzo Fernandez’s January move from the Eagles to Chelsea, the midfielder has become a regular in Roger Schmidt’s side.
Neves has caught the attention of Portugal’s manager Roberto Martinez. The talented teenager was rewarded for his displays with Portugal’s first call up to their senior national team this month.
United is interested, but it’s unclear if the Old Trafford team can afford to pay the clause in his new contract that he signed recently and lasts through 2028.
It is not likely to cause a problem for United’s bitter rivals Manchester City who 90min say are also following the Selecao’s star.
According to the report, Guardiola and his team are in the lead for Neves ahead of United.
