David Neres is part of the group of players who still do not have their future assured next season at Luz. Despite having gained more space in recent months in Roger Schmidt’s base eleven, the Brazilian winger has a lot of market which could lead to an outlet in this summer market.
According to information provided by ‘Desporto ao Minuto’, Benfica has not yet received any contact with the intention of signing Neres, however, the market will only open in a few weeks, when inquiries may appear for the 27-year-old winger.
With five goals and ten assists in 35 games played this season, David Neres has been one of the players most loved by the Reds fans. However, this ‘status’ does not guarantee the Brazilian’s continuation at Luz, since he is one of the names that could be negotiated if it is necessary to make a more significant financial contribution.
If his departure happens in this market, David Neres will not be able to say goodbye to the Luz crowd, as he is one of the casualties for Sunday’s game against Arouca, after having contracted a muscle injury in the defeat against Famalicão. Although it’s not serious, the truth is that the Brazilian winger also has the last match of the season, against Rio Ave, in jeopardy.
It should also be remembered that, last season, Zenit investigated David Neres, but Rui Costa wanted to keep the player in this season’s squad. The Canarian winger has a contract with Benfica until 2027 and a release clause of 100 million euros.
