The 25-year-old Brazilian winger has signed a contract with the Lisbon team until 2027.. Neres transfer cost Benfica 15.3 million euros.

According to the Portuguese media, Shakhtar will receive only a part of these funds due to the existing debt to the club for the transfer of another Brazilian midfielder Pedrinho last summer.

Neres moved to Shakhtar from Ajax Amsterdam in January 2022, but due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian invaders, he did not have time to make his debut for the Pitmen in official matches. We add that Ukrainian forward Roman Yaremchuk also plays for Benfica.. He recently got rid of his rival for a place in the starting lineup - Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez moved to Liverpool.

Earlier media reported that Shakhtar talent Mykhailo Mudryk will continue his career in the Bundesliga.
