A crisis threatens Al-hilal midfielder Ruben Neves’ move to Newcastle United.
According to the Daily Mail, Premier League clubs will vote on a temporary ban that includes players not moving between single-owner clubs.
This will reduce Newcastle’s chances of signing Neves because the Saudi Investment Fund owns both Al-hilal and Newcastle clubs, meaning the English club will not be able to make deals in Saudi Arabia.
Newcastle would have liked to sign Ruben Neves during the upcoming winter transfer window in order to be a replacement for Sando Tonali, who has been suspended for 10 months.
With team player Sandro Tonali suspended for ten months, it seems urgent to find an alternative that fills the void behind him. Newcastle United, with their long tradition and renewed ambitions, see Neves as the player able to shoulder this burden and add the required value to the team’s midfield
