Benfica vice: João Neves needn’t leave, Quenda also discussed | OneFootball

Nuno Gomes believes that João Neves left Benfica prematurely. The vice-president for football on João Noronha Lopes’ ticket, candidate for the club’s elections, points to Sporting’s management of Geovany Quenda as an example.

“I think it was possible to keep him for another season, even if it was with a scheme similar to what Sporting did with Geovany Quenda. Ultimately, if we don’t want to sell a player, we demand that the release clause be paid,” admitted Nuno Gomes, on Record na Hora.

Since leaving Benfica, the midfielder has been one of the main figures at the French club. This season, João Neves – valued at 90 million euros – has played six matches wearing the Parisian shirt. In the 344 minutes he spent on the pitch, the Portuguese international scored three goals.
