Super agent Mendes brings Man United closer to securing star midfielder for £68million to Old Trafford – Reports

Manchester United have been after Joao Neves for a long time and the latest reports going on in the media are interesting.

According to Spanish source, Nacional, super agent, Jorge Mendes has brought Man Utd closer to the Portuguese international.

The Catalan outlet have mentioned that Mendes offered the opportunity to take his client to Barcelona.

However, due to delicate economic situation at the Nou Camp, the La Liga giants have turned down the chance to lure the midfielder from Benfica.

It is stated that the Primeira Liga club want at least a fee of £68million for their prized asset but Barca are not willing to pay such an amount.

Mendes wants to take Neves to a powerful club and after the rejection from the Blaugrana, the position of Man Utd has gained strength.

The Blues also got Lavia, Liverpool opted to sign Endo and United were able to bring Amrabat on loan but the Moroccan has failed to shine at Old Trafford.
