Ruben Neves could be on his way to Real Madrid | OneFootball

Ruben Neves may join 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 becomes a free agent. This information was disclosed on Monday by the program “Carrusel Deportivo” on Cadena SER, which adds that the Portuguese international is “delighted” with the possibility.

The player is ready to leave Saudi Arabia immediately and sign with Real Madrid, but there is an obstacle: Florentino Pérez.

The club president believes there is no need for reinforcements in this winter market and argues that Álvaro Arbeloa, the successor to Xabi Alonso, has the ability to maximize the squad's performance.

This stance by Florentino Pérez remains firm and complicates a potential agreement with Al Hilal in the coming days, despite Ruben Neves being well-regarded within the Real Madrid structure.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been a topic in meetings among Real Madrid officials, who see his contractual situation as an interesting financial opportunity—since he is at the end of his contract—and a sporting opportunity, as he could immediately contribute as an option for Arbeloa in the fight for the La Liga and Champions League titles.

Ruben Neves is excited about the possibility of wearing the Real Madrid jersey; the transfer to Spain would represent the third international experience for the player from Mozelos.
