Recent reports have increased regarding the future of Saudi Al-hilal midfielder Ruben Neves.
Neves joined the Al-hilal in the last summer Mercato from Wolverhampton, with a contract extending until 2026.
Several press reports have recently indicated Neves is close to returning to the Premier League in Mercato Winter from Newcastle United’s loan portal, as well as to Arsenal, which places the player on their list of targets.

Arsenal English club spokesman Dan Tolhurst noted in press statements that his club’s officials had not entered into any negotiations to include Portuguese First Al-hilal soccer team player Ruben Neves.
Tolhurst stated in a special statement that he receives every week inquiries about players Arsenal are considering signing during the next transfer window, pointing out that everything that hesitates about the club’s interest in including some names is just speculation on the part of the world media.
The English club spokesman stressed that inquiries about the many names the club wishes to include are frequent in each transfer window, noting that the club’s policy is not to talk definitively about players who have contracts with other clubs and all that hesitates about Neves and Arsenal is incorrect news.

According to press reports, Newcastle United officials began official talks to try to sign Neves, Al-hilal player on loan, to replace Sandro Tonali, who was suspended until August.
Journalist David Ornstein revealed that Premier League clubs are voting to ban loans between parties associated with the upcoming winter transfer window.

Neves has played 17 games for the Al-hilal so far in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
