João Neves, the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder currently with 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 fueled rumors. Following several reports from other media outlets since Sunday, L’Equipe has confirmed that a new contract has been signed.
“Initially contracted with PSG until 2029, João Neves has signed on for an additional season,” as reported by Le Parisien.
The extension of the 21-year-old Portuguese player follows the same logic as that of Pacho – who also extended his contract until 2030: PSG intends to reward the performances of a player who arrived at the club with a salary that placed him at the lower end of the Parisian wage scale. “
All the media outlets are in agreement in a short period of time; we can hope that this isn’t a coincidence. Even if certainty only comes with an official announcement. This isn’t a transfer that attracted a lot of attention, and it emerged practically finalized, which is generally a good sign.
This would be a great way for PSG to protect itself somewhat against potential approaches from other major European clubs. Not to mention rewarding a player who has adapted perfectly, plays as a team player, and continues to improve in order to earn his place at the highest level.”
