According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves. It is also reported that Liverpool are planning a record-breaking offer for the player this summer. A fee of €150m will reportedly be required to sign the Portugal international. While PSG have no intention of allowing the midfielder to depart, Fichajes claims that a bid of €150m may tempt the side managed by Luis Enrique into a sale. Liverpool are planning to match this figure, which would make Neves the most expensive player in Premier League history. Real Madrid are understood to be watching his progress closely.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are interested in signing Joao Neves from Paris Saint-Germain and are planning to make a bid for the midfielder. Sports Boom reports that Liverpool are preparing what is described as a record-breaking bid to sign Neves this summer. Liverpool scouts watched the 21-year-old play against Newcastle United and AS Monaco in the Champions League this season, and the Merseyside club are said to view Neves as the ideal fix for the balance issues in their midfield. Sports Boom has added that PSG have no active plans to sell Neves in the summer transfer window. The Ligue 1 club reportedly view Neves as their crown jewel, and manager Luis Enrique considers the midfielder irreplaceable. Enrique is firmly against any sale of Neves, and PSG are not under financial pressure to sell the player. However, according to the report, a bid in the €150m–€160m range could change the club’s financial strategy.

Portuguese international midfielder Joao Neves has been linked with a move away from PSG, with Liverpool and Manchester City identified as interested parties. According to SportsBoom, PSG will demand €160 million for the player in the summer. It is considered unlikely that Liverpool will meet this asking price, while Manchester City are reportedly very interested in Neves.
