João Neves Shines at PSG, Outperforming Verratti Already

This summer, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made significant moves in the transfer market, securing standout players to strengthen their squad. One of the most notable signings was that of Joao Neves, acquired for a hefty sum of €70 million. The young Portuguese midfielder has already begun to make his mark, showcasing skills that suggest he may even surpass the legendary Marco Verratti in his early days with the club.

João Neves shines in his early PSG matches

João Neves, just 19 years old, has quickly adapted to life at PSG, playing alongside fellow midfielder Vitinha. In an impressive debut, Neves has already provided four assists across just three matches. If he continues this trajectory, he could soon be regarded as one of the club’s most promising talents, potentially eclipsing the early accomplishments of Marco Verratti.

Is Marco Verratti fading into memory?

Marco Verratti, a crucial player for PSG during QSI’s takeover and development of the club, made a significant impact in his first season. However, the Italian, now 31, is currently playing for Al-Arabi in Qatar and had managed only four assists in 39 matches across all competitions during the 2012-2013 season. With Neves displaying such potential, PSG might have found a worthy successor to Verratti, leaving fans eager to see how this young star will evolve in the coming months.
