Liverpool<\/a> are reportedly leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Jo\u00e3o Neves, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After moving to Parc des Princes from SL Benfica, the 21-year-old enjoyed a successful debut campaign last term, winning the Champions League<\/a>, Ligue 1, and Coupe de France.<\/p>\n Moreover, he helped his side win the French Super Cup and guided them to reach the Club World Cup final before losing to Chelsea<\/a>. In 60 appearances across all competitions, he scored seven goals and registered 10 assists.<\/p>\n This season, the Portuguese has continued to display promising performances, making eight goal contributions in 23 appearances in all tournaments.<\/p>\n He has already helped his side win the French Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup. Moreover, he has been guiding his team to mount another title charge.<\/p>\n After proving his worth in club football, Neves has secured his place in Roberto Martinez\u2019s Portuguese national team\u2019s starting line-up.<\/p>\n Now, Fichajes<\/em> state that after being convinced by Neves\u2019 performances at PSG, Liverpool are prepared to make a move to sign him. Real Madrid<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> have been monitoring Neves\u2019 performances closely, while Chelsea previously made a move to purchase him.<\/p>\n However, the Merseyside club are currently leading the race to seal the deal and are \u2018confident\u2019 that they can persuade him to join.<\/p>\n With the player\u2019s existing deal set to run until 2029, Les Parisiens have no intention of parting ways with their key star. However, if they are eventually forced to cash-in, they want at least \u00a3140m.<\/p>\n Neves likes to be deployed in the double midfield pivot role but has been playing as a box-to-box midfielder under Luis Enrique. Moreover, he can provide cover in the right-back position if needed.<\/p>\n He is dynamic, technically sound, can play threading passes between the lines, and is also efficient in defensive contributions. Although he isn\u2019t tall, he is good in the air.<\/p>\n Neves is already considered one of the best midfielders in the world, but is still just 21. So, he would be a great coup for Liverpool should they purchase him.<\/p>\n However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the Merseyside club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services in the upcoming summer transfer<\/a> window.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
