How High is João Neves' Ceiling?

João Neves has been emerged onto the scene this season, which has Europe's biggest clubs looking to acquire him this summer. His reported €120m release clause represents a hefty cost for his services, so clubs will be weighing up the pros and cons of such a transfer for a player of his archetype. This video will look at Neves' skillset, his current productivity relative to young phenom midfielders of recent vintage, and whether it's a good idea to spend €120m for Benfica's newest wonderkid.

Apologies ahead of time for any mispronunciations during the video (I try to add subtitles to my vids to help ease those concerns). Hope you guys enjoy!

[@fernandoluis8742]

Im portuguese. I never saw neves play 1 bad game. He is always so good, and sutch a good person. Will be better than kante for sure. STAY AT BENFICA

[@khrisjamesmiddleton5317]

So they can finish second?

[@paul-qb8oo]

portugeese roy keane,united should pay the fee.him and mainoo,perfect.

[@duncan7961]

Thanks for this, it's a really comprehensive introduction to a player I only know from transfer rumours

[@TheJellitin]

A Kanté comp at 19 is wild. Excited to see what he does next!

[@chase6845]

This is the first video I've seen of yours, but its really high quality stuff. I'll definitely be checking out more.

[@romariobarker2654]

Just The Type Of Player Manchester United Need !🪡

[@RuffyUzumakii7]

comment for the algorithm. Very interesting analysis. I would prefer you talking more stable and louder. When you go to deep with your voice it's a bit tiring to listen to, at least for me.
thanks for your efforts in this video, was looking for something like this to explain to my friends how João Neves is!

[@ChadYu]

Yeah I agree with you about the voice. I do like the content though.

[@FootyInsights_]

Will try and take these comments in mind for next time. Sadly, my voice isn't super great for video narration but I'll try to make the experience a bit better at least!

[@EuroExpert_]

Lovely

[@BetoMelancia]

The difference between J.Neves and other young players is the minutes he acumulated this season are over 4000minutes Champions League . Europa League , etc etc and he is always consistent .,he just doesnt score much because our coach force him to play has a 6 when he is naturally an 8

[@davidbishton896]

Great video, he seems really good but bloody hell that is so much money. Interested to get your opinion on how you think he compares to caicedo at Brighton last year because it seems he is a similar profile, ie dribbly destroyer from deep who isn't the best passer.

[@shoe_to_kill]

But he is a very good passer. Go watch him

[@davidnickless5424]

Is the Onana (2022) in the list at 8:40 Everton's Amadou Onana?

[@FootyInsights_]

Yep

[@shayyawnin]

He is underrated af but 120 million is too much tbh i rate him better than enzo and caicedo and good video

[@andrewkigen6091]

Meaning my Mainoo is 200

[@athreyathandeswaran7510]

Let him stay at Benfica for another season. Not wise to judge a young player based on a single season at the pro-level.

[@Piairom]

Even more wise is to let him stay for at least 5 seasons...if we do that with our young talents we could win a champions league again! 👍🏻

[@pedropierre9594]

It depends on the player, are you implying he is not one of the special ones ?

[@HelAyumi]

João Neves would be worth more than gold to this Man Utd team, trust me he is ready to play together with Bruno Fernandes but for Man City where they have so many top quality midfielders I'm afraid Guardiola wouldn't even let him play despite imo him being ready to play in the premier league.

[@shoe_to_kill]

Its his second season at first team Benfica

[@ax3ldays936]

Similar rodri and barella

[@dahadahajuga7490]

Dont go to united if eth still there. You will be a new experiment player.

[@user-ox7pq2jn7k]

stop talking about João bro, leave him alone

[@redtimez4520]

No not worth anything above 40m

[@BetoMelancia]

sure 😅

[@HelAyumi]

Sure not.. better give 80m£ to Maguire 😂😂

[@BetoMelancia]

ahaahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahah

[@redtimez4520]

@HelLucre yeah just because we bought Maguire for 80M then we should but every fraud as well lol

[@TeshiKyoshi]

Hes worth 45m right now but not 1 club would let him leave for less than 80+
