A target in the Saudi Pro League
According to the revelations of TransfersReal Madrid emerges as a destination of choice in January for the midfielder of Al-Hilal and Portugal, Ruben Neves. The former Wolverhampton player is in the final year of his contract in Saudi Arabia and refuses to extend.
This situation forces Al-Hilal to find a taker in Portuguese at the risk of seeing him leave for free next summer. Ruben Neves joined Al-Hilal in 2023 for around 55 million euros. It could be available in January for 20 million euros.
Al-Hilal could even revise this price downwards to facilitate his departure. Which would help matters for Real Madrid, which is not indifferent to the Portuguese’s situation.
