Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has further fueled speculation by expressing his admiration for Neves and his desire to see him join the club. However, competition for the talented midfielder is fierce, with Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva also expressing his hope for City to secure Neves’s services. 

According to reports, Neves boasts a release clause of €120 million (£105 million), underlining the hefty price tag associated with his acquisition. With significant changes expected at Old Trafford in the upcoming transfer window, including new leadership appointments and a potential managerial shift, United’s pursuit of Joao Neves underscores their ambition to strengthen their squad with promising talents.
