José Neto might leave Benfica for free in the summer of 2027. This was confirmed by Pedro Sousa, revealing that clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Marseille, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and Napoli are interested in securing the signing of the Eagles' gem, who recently received great news.

“Clubs that inquired with Stellar Group about José Neto's situation with Benfica. Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Marseille, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and Napoli, with the last two asking about the release clause,” Pedro Sousa revealed on CMTV.

The others [Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Marseille, Bayer Leverkusen] don't mind waiting a year and signing him for free, offering him a hefty signing bonus and a millionaire salary,” added Pedro Sousa, providing more details about the process involving José Neto, the young Benfica player.

This should be an absolute priority for Benfica. It's not Rafa. When there are clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool, and Chelsea, they can't all be wrong. It's impossible. José Mourinho is very fond of this player, but Benfica needs to solve the problem,” stated Pedro Sousa, discussing the interest in the fullback.

Finally, the journalist also mentioned José Neto's salary at Benfica: “I was astonished because I didn't know that player management companies allowed a player earning 3,000 euros per month gross to have a release clause of 30 million euros. José Neto's contract ends in June 2027.”
