But Bernardo says: "I told him to move to Manchester City.
"It is not easy. He is a player who, due to his success last season, has many clubs after him.
"As a Portuguese and a player, I appreciate him, I would like to have him in my team. But I want the best for him. I don't need to convince him.
"João Neves is already convincing in his way of working, and with the energy he brings on the pitch. It is easy for many clubs to join the hunt."
Neves' contract with Benfica runs until the summer of 2028.
