The ex-Wolverhampton captain could end up at a top Premier League club instead of Saudi Arabia

Supporting midfielder Ruben Neves spent six years at Wolverhampton and was at one time team captain, but he moved to Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal for €55m in the summer of 2023. However, the Portuguese could stay in England.

As the player admitted in a conversation with O Jogo, Arsenal, among others, were interested in him:

"I was close to three clubs and it didn't happen, which frustrated me and helped me make my decision with the move to Al-Hilal. I don't want to name specifically but Barcelona was one of them and that's not a lie. The move was close, as was a move to Arsenal.

Then there was another club, the offers heated up and when the golden opportunity to move to Al-Hilal came up, I didn't hesitate to accept. I'm getting used to transfers not happening."

Ruben Neves has played 28 games for the Saudi club this season, scoring four goals and giving six assists.
