WHAT HAPPENED?
Neves has had a breakout season with Benfica and the highly-touted midfielder has attracted a lot of attention from across Europe. As per journalist Ben Jacobs, Benfica have no plans of letting the wonderkid leave the club this summer for anything less than his release clause of €120 million (£101.4m/$128.2m).

Paris Saint-Germain are also showing interest in the Portuguese midfielder, but are not willing to even think about any figure over €75 million (£63.4m/$80.1m) for the 19-year-old this summer.
WHAT NEXT FOR NEVES?
Neves is currently with Roberto Martinez's Portugal national team in Germany for the Euros. The 19-year-old made his Euros debut in the second group game as he played two minutes in a 3-0 victory over Turkey. At this stage, it seems unlikely that he will leave Benfica this summer due to the club's unattainable asking price.
