Benfica will refer Manchester United to Joao Neves' buyout should they make an attempt in January.

That's according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Romano reports: "Benfica have no intention to open talks for João Neves in January despite Man United sending their scouts many times to track the talented midfielder.

"There's the same clause as Enzo Fernández one year ago into his contract: €120m."

Bernardo Silva has encouraged Neves to join him at Manchester City in the last 24 hours.
