Transfer: 26-yr-old Premier League star agrees massive deal with Saudi club

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly agreed to sell their star midfielder Ruben Neves to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.

The player is expected to earn eye-popping wages if he joins Ballon d’Or winners Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia.

As per Sky Sports, Wolves are prepared to sell Neves to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal for £47 million this summer.

Personal terms are not expected to be a problem, as Neves is open to the move. The 26-year-old initially wanted to join La Liga side Barcelona, but the Blaugrana failed to table a formal offer.

According to The Sun, Ruben Neves will earn an estimated £300,000 a week at Al-Hilal. Since Neves’ salary would not be impacted by taxes, any Premier League club would have to pay double that amount to match the midfielder’s take-home salary.

As per Spotrac, he earns £50,000 a week at Wolves.

Toward the end of the 2022-23 season, Neves expressed his desire to play Champions League football.
