Rúben Neves, who currently plays for Al Hilal, may be nearing the end of his career in Saudi football. Ahead of the summer transfer window, the 28-year-old Portuguese midfielder is one of the names that Real Madrid is starting to prioritize.
The former Wolverhampton player fits all the criteria for the new initiative, which is to bolster the midfield with a profile of experience, quality, and tactical maturity.
After a stellar stint in the Premier League, the Portuguese midfielder moved to Saudi Arabia and has since established himself as a player of rank despite the shift in the competitive landscape.
In Al Hilal, where he has been a key member of the squad for the past season, he has also distinguished himself with his leadership abilities, game vision, and potent long-range shot. Real Madrid’s interest appears to be a step ahead, but numerous European teams have been keenly watching his performance.
Real Madrid considering surprise midfield solution from Saudi Arabia
After six wildly successful seasons with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, Neves relocated to Al Hilal in 2023. He has maintained his excellent level of performance even after leaving European football.
He is a vital member of the Saudi Pro League thanks to his vision, passing range, and long-range shooting, and his steady play has not gone unnoticed. Neves’ desire to go back to Europe is what might make the transaction possible. According to people close to the Portuguese midfielder, who is only 28 years old, he might be open to joining Real Madrid.
The player’s willingness might make the negotiations easier, even though they could be financially complicated with a Saudi club. Once a target is selected, Real Madrid is renowned for taking decisive action. The foundation is already being established with Neves, and if a negotiation window opens up, things may proceed swiftly.
Although no formal offer has been made as of yet, there may be interest. Given the proper circumstances and the player’s approval, Neves might soon be back in Europe donning the recognizable Real Madrid white shirt.
