Wolves Captain Ruben Neves Joins Saudi Arabia Club Al-Hilal

Ruben Neves leaves Wolves after six seasons for "a club record fee" reported to be around 55 million euros to join Saudi club Al-Hilal.

Jun 24, 2023, 4:51 AM2 min read

Wolves captain Ruben Neves became the latest major player to move to Saudi Arabia. The 26-year-old Portuguese international joined Al-Hilal for a record 55 million euros. "From the 'Wolves' to the biggest team in Asia," Al-Hilal announced on social media after the player signed a three-season deal in Paris. Neves, who arrived at Wolves from Porto, had one year on his contract left at Molineux.

The reason behind Ruben's departure from Europe in his prime years:

He joins in the Saudi Pro League Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, 35, and Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, in what is expected to be just the start of a series of moves for stars based in Europe. France's World Cup-winning midfielder N'Golo Kante, 32, has joined Benzema at Al-Ittihad. The kingdom's league had already signed up five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr in January.

But in contrast to recent moves for players in the twilight of their careers, Neves still has his prime years ahead of him. Barcelona had held a long-term interest in the former Porto midfielder. The huge deal eases the Wolves' financial pressures. They have been under pressure to sell to avoid breaching Premier League spending rules after splashing out £150 million on transfers over the past 12 months.

Career at Wolves:

Neves has made 253 appearances for Wolves, scoring 30 goals, since arriving in 2017. "Ruben is the embodiment of everything you look for when trying to bring players into a football club; a leader, a humble man, and an extremely talented footballer who took Wolves to a different level," said the English side's sporting director Matt Hobbs.

He helped them win promotion from the Championship a year later and then to two consecutive seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League. Wolves also reached the Europa League quarter-finals in 2020, but have struggled to replicate that success and finished 13th last season.

Portugal will be confident of beating any team in the world after ousting Germany in the semi-final. This was their first win over the Germans since the EURO 2000. Not only that, but Cristiano Ronaldo also won against Germany for the first time in his senior career, after netting the winning goal.

Roberto Martínez has introduced a few new tactical things to turn things around for Portugal, after crashing out against France on penalties in the last eight. Rafael Leão, Pedro Neto or Francisco Conceição on the wings supplying central striker Cristiano Ronaldo, has been a great plan for him along with having a strong 4-man defence in the back.

Along with them, inform Vitinha, fresh from a Champions League triumph, and Bruno Fernandes, give Portugal solidity in the midfield. 

Till now, there is no news of injuries, and Martinez will have a full squad to choose from for the final against Spain.

Spain have been one of the best sides in world football, comprising one of the brightest young talents in every position. Although they are suffering from a few long-term injuries to some senior players, Luis de la Fuente's team looks no worried since winning the EURO 2024. 

In a record-breaking semi-final, where the most number of goals in a Nations League match was scored, Spain defeated France by 5-4 to qualify for the final. Though the scoreline looks tight, Spain once led by 4-1, and a few experiments along with complacency led them to win by a smaller margin.

Lamine Yamal, the Ballon d'Or 2025 contender, scored a brace for them while Pedri netted a magical goal. Mikel Oyarzabal, just like every time, performed silently while providing two assists. Nico Williams also looked like a beast on the right. 

Scoring goals will never be an issue for a team like this. But, defending well against a well-shaped Portugal team would be a tough task for them. 

No news of new injuries for them as well. 

Possible Lineups

Portugal

Diogo Costa; João Neves, Rúben Dias, Gonçalo Inácio, Nuno Mendes; Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes; Francisco Conceição, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Neto.

Spain

Unai Simón; Pedro Porro, Robin Le Normand, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella; Pedri, Martín Zubimendi, Fabián Ruiz; Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal, Nico Williams

Our prediction

We predict a 3-2 win for Spain.
