As soon as I might know AS, the operation would be 90% complete in the absence of some small fringes in the player’s contract. The eagles are expected to make the agreement official in the coming days.
Neres surprised football from the old continent in the great Ajax, the work of Erik Ten Hag, who reached the 2019 Champions League semi-finalswith superb performances by Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt o Hakim Ziyech. However, over the years his light faded and that young Neres who surprised clubs like Atlético de Madrid, PSG or AC Milan ended up reaching the Shakhtar Donetsk on loan last January.

David Neres came to the Ajax discipline at just 19 years old from Sao Paulo in the Brazilian Serie A. In Brazil he did not reach twenty official matches before packing the four-time champion of Europe. At the Ajacieden club he played more than 150 official matches, scoring 52 goals and being a key player in his first three years with the first team. His presence in the team gradually faded, going from being a future promise with half a continent behind him, to a star that never exploded. With Brazil he was proclaimed champion of the Copa América 2019being the natural replacement for the injured Neymar.
