Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to land one of the most promising midfielders of his generation.
His shadow still looms over the stands of the Parc des Princes. A year after his departure for Qatar, Marco Verratti is still in the hearts of Parisian supporters. An emblematic player of the QSI era, the little Italian left his mark with his silky technique and his commitment to
Paris Saint Germain.
The emergence of Warren Zaire-Emery and the new dimension taken by Vitinha last season have allowed the capital club to rebuild its midfield. But other reinforcements are expected in this key sector for Luis Enrique. One of the avenues explored by the sports management could come to fruition in the coming days.
Di Maria compares Joao Neves to Verratti!
Several Portuguese sources report a strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain in Joao Neves. At 19 years old, this young Portuguese midfielder emerges as one of the most promising prospects in his position. His technical quality is even comparable to that of a certain Marco Verratti.
The analogy was made by Angel Di Maria himself, the Portuguese’s teammate at Benfica. “João Neves is a boy with a spectacular future. He reminds me of Marco Verratti in his way of playing,” said the best passer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain in an interview with France Football. As a reminder, Joao Neves’ exit clause amounts to 120 million euros. PSG has reportedly made an offer of 90 million. A common ground between the two clubs must be found. The player, for his part, is said to be attracted by the Parisian project.
