Ruben Neves could strengthen Real Madrid as early as the next winter transfer window in January, or in the following summer, when his contract with Al Hilal ends and he will be a free agent. The information was released on Monday by the “Carrusel Deportivo” program on Cadena SER, which adds that the Portuguese international is “delighted” with the possibility.
The player would be available to leave Saudi Arabia immediately and sign for Real Madrid, but there is one obstacle: Florentino Pérez.
The club president believes there is no need for reinforcements in this winter transfer window and argues that Álvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso’s successor, has the ability to get the most out of the squad.
This position of Florentino Pérez remains firm and makes a potential agreement with Al Hilal in the coming days more difficult, despite Ruben Neves being well regarded within the Merengue structure.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been a topic of discussion in meetings among Real Madrid’s decision-makers, who see his contractual situation as an interesting opportunity both financially—since he is nearing the end of his contract—and in sporting terms, as he could immediately contribute as an option for Arbeloa in the fight for La Liga and the Champions League.
Ruben Neves is excited about the possibility of wearing the Real Madrid shirt; the move to Spain would represent the third international experience for the player from Mozelos.
