Paris Saint-Germain are in talks to sign Joao Neves from Benfica, with European media outlets expecting a deal to be finalised this week as the French club look to speed things up. ( sakidbet )
However, L’Equipe revealed that PSG are still looking at other midfield options, but not in the Neves case, as the Ligue 1 champions now have to find a replacement should Manuel Ugarte leave the club.
Ugarte has been linked with Manchester United but the English club have so far failed to agree a fee, with PSG demanding €70m.
Back to the case of the 27-year-old Schouten, the French media reported that the PSG transfer team were impressed by the individual performances of the PSV midfielder, especially sporting advisor Luis Campos who wanted to bring the player in as a reinforcement.
However, the case of the Netherlands midfielder is still dependent on the release of Ugarte, with the club currently negotiating a price with the Red Devils, which is likely to take some time.
