Ruben Neves is already said to have completed his medical, ahead of a shock move to Al Hilal.
Yesterday, news broke around lunch time that the Portugal international was going to make a move to Saudi Arabia.
The star, 26, had been expected to head to Barcelona.
But the Spanish giants were unable to come up with a cash offer.
Al Hilal have swooped, offering Wolves £47 million which the club accepted.
Given the issues with FFP right now, the club saw this as a very good deal.
The move is now expected to go through without any issues, and it could be completed in the coming days.
Ruben Neves has already done his medical, ahead of Al Hilal move
According to The Athletic last night, Neves has actually even already completed his medical ahead of his move to Saudi.
Personal terms all agreed with no issues, and the signing is expected to be officially announced after this month’s international fixtures have been completed.
Neves is currently on duty with Portugal, and faces Iceland tomorrow.
After that game, expect the ball to get moving.
He is due to fly to the Middle East in the next few days, and will become the most expensive signing ever made my a Saudi Pro League club.
It has been reported that Neves was offered around ten times the wage he receives from Wolves.
Ruben Neves to Al Hilal has moved very quickly, with Wolves star having already had medical
Some people are still wrapping their head around this story, and hasn’t even been 24 hours since word of Al Hilal even being interest became public.
It just goes to show how quickly things can move in football.
It certainly came out of the blue.
Many had expected that Neves would have gone to Barcelona, and that that particular move would probably have happened much later in the window.
Thankfully for Wolves they are getting a nice early sale on Neves, which should really help in the coming weeks.
