However, according to reports, Jurgen Klopp is also interested in the 18-year-old and is keen on bringing him to Anfield.
Klopp is so adamant on signing Neves, he sent a team of scouts to watch the midfielder during Portugal’s under 21 match against Hungary on Friday night.
Despite being just 18-years-old, Neves made over 30 appearances for Porto last season.
