Ruben Neves Set to Join Al-Hilal in a £47m Deal
Ruben Neves, the Portuguese midfielder who currently plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, is reportedly set to join Al-Hilal in a £47m deal. The Saudi Arabian club has submitted a huge bid for the player, and negotiations are said to be progressing quickly. If all goes well, Neves could sign for Al-Hilal as early as next week.
Wolves are said to prefer a quick sale after drawn-out negotiations with Barcelona, though these talks have been more egged on by Jorge Mendes than the club itself. The report adds that Al-Hilal’s “decisive” stance on negotiations has allowed talks to progress quickly. Neves is already said to be convinced by the deal, meaning the 26-year-old’s six-year stay at Molineux Stadium is set to come to an end.
Neves’ Potential Suitors
Ruben Neves has previously been linked with a move to both Manchester United and Arsenal, with both identifying him as an option to bolster their midfield. However, the Red Devils instead have looked towards Chelsea star Mason Mount, while the Gunners are eyeing up released Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan.
Both clubs are also interested in West Ham skipper Declan Rice, but Man Utd’s ongoing takeover saga has left their pursuit of the Englishman in limbo. With Neves set for a move to the Middle East, he will be joining Portugal team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Move to Al-Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently saw his contract ripped up at Manchester United, headed to Al-Nassr. Since arriving, he has scored 14 goals in 16 league matches. The footballing icon was seen meeting social media sensation and super fan Speed, with the pair performing his iconic “Siuu” celebration together.
Conclusion
Ruben Neves is a talented midfielder who has been linked with several top clubs in Europe. However, it seems that he will be joining Al-Hilal in a £47m deal. The Saudi Arabian club has reportedly submitted a huge bid for the player, and negotiations are said to be progressing quickly. If all goes well, Neves could sign for Al-Hilal as early as next week.
