The arrival of Joao Neves at PSG cannot be long in coming. But why is the officialization of this transfer taking so long?
For several days now, the transfer of Joao Neves to Paris Saint-Germain, from Benfica, has been announced as imminent. Except that the officialization of this operation, estimated at 70 million euros (including ten in bonuses), has still not arrived.
This is all the more surprising given that the Portuguese international travelled to the French capital last Thursday to undergo his medical, which was successfully completed, and the Portuguese midfielder then returned to his homeland while the final details of his transfer are sorted out.
Joao Neves to PSG, still some details to settle
” In the terms and for the purposes legally applicable, and in light of the news published in the media, Sport Lisboa e Benfica – Futebol SAD (the “Company”) informs that the formalization of the process related to the transfer of the player João Neves’ contract with PSG is practically complete, but that to date, the corresponding contract has not been signed by all parties. The Company will complete this information in the terms and for the purposes legally applicable as soon as it is justified.Benfica said in a statement.
Joao Neves could wear the number 6 for the Red and Blue. Since the transfer of Marco Verratti, it has been vacant. The 7, available since the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, would also be a possibility for the player measuring 1m74.
