Manchester City have joined Real Madrid in the race to sign Portugese talent this summer. The player is currently having impressive season with PSG and signing him will be an ultimate challenge.
The star in question here is Joao Neves who joined PSG last summer. The French giants paid £50 million to sign him from Benfica. Neves is 20 years old and can play as both holding and central midfielder.
Neves has been very good for PSG in his debut season at France. He has played 36 games and has started in most of them. The 20 year old has scored 4 goals and picked 9 assists and showcased his high quality on the pitch.
Neves is already a regular member of Portugal national team at 20 years old. He has represented his country on 13 occasions so far. His performances have not gone unnoticed with multiple top clubs lurking around him.
Real Madrid have shown interest in Joao Felix as they want a midfield overhaul this summer. They are finding replacement for Toni Kross who left last summer. In addition, Luka Modric may also depart after the end of this season. Madrid are not alone in the race as English giants have joined them.
Manchester City enter the race for Joao Neves
According to Fichajes, Man City want to land Joao Neves this summer. The report claims that Pep Guardiola is interested to bring the Portugese to Etihad. City have struggled without Rodri this season and hence are keen to improve their midfield.

However, it will not be easy for any club to sign Neves this summer. PSG are very happy with him and are unwilling to sell the 20 year old anytime soon. If the player forces the move, Luis Enrique’s side will surely demand a hefty fee.
