João Neves, the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, whose contract runs until 2029, has established himself among the world’s best since joining from Benfica in 2024. This has naturally attracted interest and generated a lot of rumors. According to L’Equipe, he has extended his contract by one year. RMC Sport has confirmed this extension until 2030.
“The 21-year-old has extended his contract with the capital club, according to Le Parisien, a report confirmed by RMC Sport. The midfielder, who arrived in Paris in the summer of 2024, will now be tied to the French and European champions until 2030, an additional year on top of his current contract.”
While there will be no certainty until an official announcement, a quick and clear confirmation from another media outlet is certainly welcome. However, it’s important to be wary of the potential for sensationalism and hasty reporting. It’s still plausible that Neves will extend his contract with PSG. The Portuguese player seems happy in Paris, and it would make sense for the club to want to reward his progress while also protecting themselves from interest from other major European clubs.
