What has Neves said about his future?

Speaking to Benfica’s in-house team, he spoke of his fondness of playing at the Estádio da Luz, providing a hint that he may stay with the club for the foreseeable yet.

"When I'm inside, although they're very loud, the applause and the chants I almost don't even hear. I forget what's around me and focus on what's on the field. But when the game ends and we applaud the fans is always a source of pride. It's great to know that the fans are with me and the team."

"This passion has expanded over the years, due to everything that Benfica has given me as a person and a player. I owe everything to Benfica, Benfica owes me nothing. I just have to thank and I thank you by giving everything I I have something to give, being a better player and person.”

“Being a Benfica fan is already a way of life. It's waking up Benfica and sleeping Benfica. Giving everything, being joyful, living life to the fullest. I go to the arena to watch various games; I like watching different sports. Benfica is not just football. Playing for Benfica was the dream I always had."
