Liverpool have entered the race for Neves alongside Manchester United ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, as per reports from O Jogo (via Sport Witness). While Manchester United have been pursuing the Benfica talent for a while now, Chelsea also have their sights set on the 19-year-old. However, the hefty price tag associated with Neves, believed to be set at €120 million (£102m/£130m), could pose a challenge for all three clubs.

Neves has opted not to commit his future to Benfica, fueling speculation that he might seek a move during the summer transfer window. Despite this, Benfica is eager to retain the young talent and reportedly aims to raise his release clause to €150 million (£128m/$162m).

Throughout the current season in the Portuguese top flight, the 19-year-old has appeared in 27 matches, contributing three goals and two assists.

An intriguing summer looms for the Premier League clubs, particularly with Liverpool preparing to bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp, and uncertainties surrounding the managerial futures of Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino due to their teams’ underwhelming performances. All three clubs may be in search of new talent, with Neves emerging as one of the most sought-after prospects in the market.
