Joao Neves: Man Utd prepare for transfer fight with Liverpool and Chelsea among clubs also interested in €120m-rated Benfica star

Liverpool have joined Manchester United in the race for Neves ahead of the summer transfer window, according to O Jogo (via <a href="https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-joined-race-reds-move-rival-manchester-united-chelsea-signing/" target="_blank">Sport Witness</a>).

Yet his price tag may prove problematic for all three sides, with Neves thought to have a release clause set at €120 million (£102m/£130m).

However, Benfica are keen to keep hold of the youngster and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/blow-man-utd-joao-neves-price-tag-eur150m-benfica-contract-extension-talks-erik-ten-hag-transfer-targets/blt94071057c9edf217" target="_blank">reportedly want to increase his release clause to €150m (£128m/$162m)</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 19-year-old has featured 27 times in the Portuguese top flight this season, notching three goals and two assists.

DID YOU KNOW?

An intriguing summer awaits for all three Premier League clubs, particularly with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jurgen-klopp-leaving-liverpool-reds-boss-bombshell-announcement-quitting-role-shock-video/bltba3be51866395e61" target="_blank">Liverpool set to wave goodbye to Jurgen Klopp</a> and uncertainty surrounding the futures of Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino due to underwhelming campaigns. All three clubs may be in the market for fresh talent, and Neves is clearly viewed as one of the hottest prospects around right now.
