Logically considered one of the most beautiful recruits of the last summer transfer window at PSG, João Neves has been shining since his signature at the Parc des Princes. And yet, the young Portuguese midfielder assures that he was initially left to stay in Benfica last summer, which would have changed the face of the PSG season.
What if the PSG had never recruited the phenomenon João Neves (20 years) last summer? Attracted from the Benfica Lisbon For € 60M, the young Portuguese midfielder engaged behind the scenes of his transfer last February, in an interview with Our World. Et Neves Admit that he had not planned to go to PSG at this precise stage of his career.
“I did not expect to leave Benfica”
« At the time, I did not expect to leave the club, but I knew the needs of Benfica and I knew that it was perhaps an option to leave and saw the PSG proposal, how they told me about the club, what they told me, what this club is, the essence of the club, I think I see a lot of PSG in me. It is a club that wants to bet on young people, he wants to bet on football, beautiful football. The important thing is how we win, how we play with the ball. I think the ideology of this club is perfect for me “Indicates the number 87 of PSG.
“My friends say I’m worth 60M €”
And despite the expensive amount of his transfer to PSG, João Neves never felt the pressure linked to this money: ” I am so young that I have no idea what money and its importance is. I think it’s an advantage. Sometimes my friends say that I am worth 60 million, and I wonder how is it possible? And it’s a little difficult to digest, but I don’t worry about it, because as I said, and I always say it and I will always say it, if I do my best, I can be worth more, I can be less worth. In football, everyone knows that what is true today, is a lie tomorrow. And that’s it, I already know my way of seeing things, I don’t care what they paid for me. I’m going to do my best, and if they trust me, I just have to show them on the field and apart from the field why they trust me “, Continues the young crack of the PSG.
