“It is also a good opportunity for me to work again with a trainer (Nuno Espírito Santo) I worked with last year.
“I am very excited to start and to play in front of the fans – I love that.”
Neves made his Porto debut aged just 17 in August 2014.
Despite his young age he has extensive experience, and was the youngest player to rack up 50 appearances for Porto and is the club’s youngest goalscorer.
He became the youngest Champions League captain ever when he led out the side against Maccabi Tel Aviv at just 18 in October 2015.
The defensive midfielder, who has two senior Portugal caps, scored four goals in 92 games for Porto.
