A month ago, Portuguese newspaper Record showed up with a front page claiming Manchester United had placed a €60m offer for João Félix.
That offer was said to have been rejected, and Correio da Manhã then said the Red Devils made a new €70m bid, although that wasn’t backed up by other local sources.
This time, the newspaper writes Paris Saint Germain put €70m on the table, and that was far from enough to convince Benfica to make a deal.
It’s once again explained that the Eagles have the midfielder well protected by a €120m release clause, and they have no intention of giving big discounts.
That’s a clear message for both Manchester United and PSG, although we may still see what happens if those clubs get closer to €100m.
For now, Benfica are making it clear that Neves is a very important player for them and they won’t change their minds even with all that money on the table.
