It won't be sold at a low price.

João Neves

.. The 19-year-old midfielder has attracted the attention of several clubs in the Premier League, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. United have been in close contact with him since the January transfer window.

Neves, a product of Benfica's youth system, renewed his contract last summer for a release fee of €100 million. Benfica will not accept an offer for less than that amount. Neves will represent Portugal at next month's Europa League in Germany, which will boost his exposure.

Mais Futebol journalist Bruno Andrade says: "Benfica will not accept an offer below Neves' release fee. Portugal's participation in the Europa League will attract more potential buyers, making their asking price more reasonable. Add to that the involvement of Mendes and the likelihood of Neves leaving increases."
