Liverpool gets set for a transfer duel over Joao Neves as the £102m race encounters a new complication.

The transfer battle for Joao Neves intensifies as Liverpool prepares for a challenging £102m race, with the latest twist adding to the anticipation.

Liverpool faces a new challenge in their pursuit of Benfica’s Joao Neves as the £102m transfer battle takes a different turn.

The Reds have hit a setback in their efforts to sign the Benfica star, with various potential signings being linked to the club this summer.

With Arne Slot taking over as head coach at Anfield, the focus is on evaluating the squad for the upcoming Premier League season.

Recent reports have connected Liverpool to center-backs, including Lille’s Leny Yoro as a possible target. Additionally, there are rumors of midfield reinforcements, with Neves being mentioned as a potential addition.

According to recent reports from Correio da Manha, Liverpool was preparing to intensify their pursuit of Neves. However, a new article now suggests that the Reds will have to contend with fresh competition for the midfielder’s signature.

According to A Bola, Neves is now being pursued by Paris Saint-Germain in the race to secure his signature.

The report suggests that the Ligue 1 club has engaged in discussions regarding a potential transfer, but they have not yet made a formal proposal.

Benfica, on the other hand, believes that PSG will soon submit an official bid to acquire Neves. However, it remains uncertain whether this offer will meet Benfica’s desired price.

Neves is said to have a release clause of €120 million (£102 million) in his contract with the Portuguese club.

The report further reveals that Benfica has already turned down two offers in the range of €60 million (£51 million) for the talented player.

Manchester United has also been linked with an interest in Neves, as reports indicate that the club is among those who have had a bid turned down for the midfielder.

Neves’ future destination is still uncertain, as he is currently under contract with Benfica until 2028.
