Liverpool are reportedly preparing a record-breaking bid to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves, according to Sports Boom.
The Reds were incredibly busy in the previous summer transfer window, breaking their transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.
The Merseyside outfit also added Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong to Arne Slot's squad, but after a disappointing season, we could see them splash the cash once again later this year.
How much Liverpool can spend in the summer remains to be seen, especially as they've already agreed a deal to bring Jeremy Jacquet to the club to improve their defensive options.
We might see Slot's side offload some of their current stars in order to fund another big window, but it remains to be seen who could depart.
Liverpool Preparing Monster Offer

According to a report from Sports Boom, Liverpool are preparing a 'record-breaking bid' to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Neves ahead of the summer transfer window.
It's claimed that the Reds see Neves as the 'ideal fix' for their midfield issues, and Liverpool even scouted him recently as PSG faced Newcastle and Monaco.
It's also suggested that a departure this year feels unlikely for Neves, with the Portuguese midfielder happy at PSG and on a long-term deal, but an offer in the region of £140m could change the French side's mind.
Manager Luis Enrique believes that Neves is 'irreplaceable', so it's certainly not going to be easy to prise him away from PSG in the summer transfer window.

Neves Would be a Phenomenal Signing for Liverpool
Portugal's Joao Neves
Neves, described as 'one of the best midfielders in the world, would undoubtedly be a phenomenal signing for Liverpool, significantly strengthening their options in the middle of the park.
Whether Neves is worth paying £140m for is another question, and it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if PSG refused to budge on that valuation, considering his importance to Enrique's side.
The Merseyside outfit have already invested significantly in Slot's squad in recent years, so it would be a huge risk to break their transfer record for the third time in 12 months.
If Liverpool are prepared to make a move for a player like Neves, then it could be an exciting summer for the supporters at Anfield.
How Much is Joao Neves Worth?

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT how much Neves is worth in today's market.
PSG paid roughly €60m (~£52m) for him from Benfica in Summer 2024 — a strong price for a teenager.
Current data shows Transfermarkt valuing him around €110m (~£95m), reflecting his rapid progression this season.
TransferFeed analysis places his most likely market value at €140m (£121m) given elite club interest and PSG’s stance.
Clubs linked (City, Chelsea, Real Madrid) suggest premium appeal at top level.
£100–£130m is realistic today — big-club calibre but still emerging, with a potential to climb further with consistent elite output.
