Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
The Paris Saint-Germain transfer window is slowly starting to pick up. While the Euro is in full swing, the Parisians have formalized the arrival of Gigio Donnarumma’s understudy for next season in the person of goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, landed for around 20 million euros from Krasnodar. But Luis Campos does not want to stop there. Among the various objectives, he must obviously forget the departure of Kylian Mbappé on the attacking front, but he also wants to thicken his midfield which appeared limited at times last season.
Joao Neves refuses a revaluation
For several weeks, Parisian leaders have embarked on the particularly difficult path leading to Joao Neves, the nugget of Benfica. At 19, he is coming off a major season with… 55 matches in all competitions, which led him to be called up by Roberto Martinez for the Euro. And while he has a release clause estimated at 120 million euros, his club tried to extend it, as revealed by the Portuguese media Record, with a salary doubled (from 500,000 euros to 1 million per year), which he would have refused, considering that it was not enough. A sign of his desire elsewhere this summer? Currently, he is still under contract until 2028 in Portugal, which allows his club to be protected. Paris Saint-Germain will therefore have to be skillful in negotiation.
To sum up
Paris Saint-Germain has a huge chance to play with Joao Neves, the Portuguese nugget from Benfica. The player refused a salary increase, the Parisians could well rush into this small breach.
