Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent months.
The Al Hilal midfielder is a target for clubs including Newcastle United, Leeds United and Manchester United. According to a report from Talksport, Al Hilal have offered him a contract extension. It will be interesting to see if the Portugal international is willing to commit his future to the club.
The opportunity to return to the Premier League could be exciting for him. He had previously played in England for Wolves and was a great fit with them. He could be a great signing for Manchester United, Newcastle or Leeds. All three clubs need more control and composure in the center of the park. They need players who can control the tempo of the game from deep.
Neves is an excellent passer and his shots from long range are deadly. He could add a new dimension to the middle of the park. It remains to be seen what the players will decide. Manchester United and Newcastle have ambitious projects in the works and he could be tempted to join them.
According to the report, the club are willing to accept an offer of around £15 million for the midfielder if he decides not to sign a new contract with the Saudi club. The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality and experience. All three clubs have the financial wherewithal to make a deal, so it will be interesting to see which club can convince the midfielder to join them.
He’s going to compete at a high level and fight for trophies. Manchester United, Newcastle and Leeds will need to be able to convince players of their ambitions.
