Manchester United and Arsenal are both interested in Benfica midfielder Neves, but Benfica would prefer to sell XI A.【fangjie】
Manchester United's intentions are very clear. Recent news circulating in England says that the Red Devils Manchester United have set aside more than 100 million euros to convince the Benfica club to let go of the player they believe is ideal to rejuvenate their midfield. In the transfer market, United plan to bring in Neves, but it is clear that United will give up Casemiro. The Brazilian is not in the plans of the club's new shareholder Jim Ratcliffe and is most likely to join the Saudi Arabian league.
While all parties have yet to make what they call an official offer solicitation, the paper of record has revealed that Benfica are more willing to sell center-back Antonio Silva this summer than Neves. Sunday's 5-0 thrashing of Arouca could be Antonio Silva's last game at home for Benfica. Schmidt even replaced him in the 65th minute for Morato, who hadn't played in almost a month.
After completing his second season of first-team football with Benfica, the Portugal international could be on his way out.
