Neves has joined the French champions for £60m despite interest from Manchester United and has signed a five-year contract.

The 19-year-old midfielder made 75 appearances for Benfica after coming through their youth ranks in January 2023 and scored four goals.

Neves was part of the Portugal squad at EURO 2024, making two appearances.

"It is a great pride for me to join Paris Saint-Germain, a very ambitious club," Neves said after signing his five-year contract. 

"I will give everything to help my teammates, grow in this fantastic Club and win many titles."

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: "We are delighted to welcome Joao Neves to the Paris Saint-Germain family. Joao is one of the most talented players in Portugal and the world.

"He joins Paris Saint-Germain with great passion and determination to fight for our jersey, which is what we expect from all our players. We continue to build a fantastic young team at Paris Saint-Germain - based on teamwork, talent and collective spirit - which is the foundation of our Club's great future."
