Real Madrid plot galactico move, João Neves could boost Benfica again | OneFootball

The name of João Neves has once again gained huge prominence in the international market. After establishing himself as one of PSG’s standout players and winning two consecutive Champions Leagues, the Portuguese midfielder is now among the potential targets of a multimillion-euro move being prepared by Real Madrid.

According to revelations made by Florentino Pérez, the Spanish club is willing to move forward with a record bid in the region of €150 million to sign a true "galáctico". Among the names that fit the profile described by the president of Los Blancos are João Neves and Vitinha, two Portuguese players currently shining for PSG.

In João Neves’s case, any potential transfer would have very positive consequences for Benfica. Thanks to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, the clubs responsible for developing players receive a percentage of future transfers made during the period considered part of their training. As the Portuguese international is only 21 years old and was developed at Seixal, Benfica would be entitled to a significant amount.

Based on a transfer worth €150 million, Benfica could earn around €4.5 million through that mechanism alone. It would be another windfall related to João Neves, after the millions already received from his transfer to PSG and the various targets meanwhile achieved by the Algarve-born midfielder in Paris.

There are other names being linked to Florentino Pérez’s project, such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Jamal Musiala or Julián Álvarez. Even so, João Neves’s name continues to gather momentum among Madrid fans, in an operation that, if completed, would once again bring smiles to the board led by Rui Costa.
