Arriving during the summer of 2024 at PSG, Joao Neves quickly established himself in Luis Enrique's starting eleven. The midfielder has extended his contract by one year.

Joao Neves is one of the most-used players by Luis Enrique since his arrival at PSG during the summer of 2024. The Portuguese international, despite his young age (21), has established himself in the starting lineup of one of Europe's biggest clubs, if not the best. With Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, he forms the best midfield in the world. His performances attract attention. But PSG does not intend to hear about a departure for its No. 87.

According to information from Le Parisien, Joao Neves has extended his contract by one year, until June 2030. The Parisian outlet reports that while Paris often waits until the third season to begin negotiations — as is the case today with Bradley Barcola — it anticipates the move for players with standout performances who have reached the bottom of the salary scale. The former Benfica player had the lowest salary in the starting lineup for the Champions League final, according to Le Parisien.

His new ranking in the salary hierarchy positions him at a level more in line with his performance. Information confirmed by transfer market specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Last December, Spanish outlet Fichajes reported that Real Madrid was preparing to pay 150 million euros (around $160 million) to sign Neves. "Real Madrid understands that it needs significant reinforcements in midfield. The possible departure of players like Camavinga and Rodrygo would leave financial space to invest in Joao Neves," the cited outlet noted.
