Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing 20-year-old PSG midfielder Joao Neves in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Joao Neves is likely to cost a substantial amount of money and Manchester City are prepared to go all out to sign the Portuguese international from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for PSG since joining them from SL Benfica and it is no surprise that Manchester City are keen on him. The Premier League champions need a midfield controller, and the Portuguese international would be ideal acquisition. He has all the attributes to developing to a world-class midfielder.
Manchester City are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the financial resources to pay a premium for him. However, PSG are a well-off outfit as well, and they do not need to sell key players for money. It will be difficult for Manchester City to convince the Ligue 1 champions.
Manchester City need quality midfielders
Manchester City need more quality and depth in the middle of the park if they want to get back to their best. Signing the 20-year-old could prove to be a wise decision. Neves is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player in the Premier League.
The highly-rated midfielder is enjoying his football at the French club, and it remains to be seen whether he can be tempted to move to the Premier League. Manchester City one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have an ambitious project. The opportunity to join them can be quite exciting for most players.
It has been a disappointing season for Manchester City so far, and they could easily miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification. They need to plug the weaknesses in their squad during the summer transfer window to bounce back strongly. Improving the midfield will be one of their priorities. Along with a quality central midfielder, they should look to invest in a reliable defensive midfielder as well.
