Will PSG’s future Portuguese recruit choose to wear the same number as at her previous club? Will she dare to opt for that of a former star who has gone to play in other climes?
For 70 million euros (including 10 in bonuses), Joao Neves will become Paris Saint-Germain’s second summer signing, after
Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. Indeed, the arrival of the Portuguese international, from Benfica, is imminent. Especially since the 19-year-old midfielder has already successfully passed his medical in the capital.
But what number will the one who could quickly become the new darling of the Parc de Princes wear? At Benfica, he wore 87, an unusual number for a footballer and which he could take back at PSG given that he is a free agent.
Joao Neves with the 6 or the 7 on his back?
If we look at his position, 6 could be his best option. Since the transfer of
Marco Verratti in Qatar in the summer of 2023, this one is vacant. The 7, available since the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, would also be a possibility for the player measuring 1m74.
