Al Hilal announced, on its official Twitter page, the renewal of the 28-year-old midfielder’s contract, who was at the end of his deal, at a time when sports media were reporting a possible return of the player to European football next season.

Rúben Neves, with 63 caps and one goal for the Portuguese national team, will remain in Riyadh until 2029 and is, this season, competing for the Saudi title, experiencing his best season in Saudi Arabian football.

The midfielder, who came up through FC Porto’s academy, has already scored nine goals—a career high—and provided six assists in 24 matches for Al Hilal, across all competitions.

Before heading to Saudi football, Rúben Neves began his career at FC Porto, made his debut for the ‘Dragons’ first team at 18 years old, and then spent six seasons at Wolverhampton in England.
