Rúben Neves finds himself once again at the center of the market debate after emerging as one of the most requested options to reinforce the midfield of Real Madrid. The profile fits, and the need is evident: a defensive midfielder with judgment, experience, and the ability to organize the game.

The fans demand it, and the club values it, although there are very clear nuances in economic terms. The Portuguese player currently plays for Al Hilal, where his contract ends at the end of this season. This contractual situation opens a window that the player's environment is trying to take advantage of.

Rúben Neves, the missing profile in Real Madrid

There is consensus at Real Madrid regarding the diagnosis. They lack a holding midfielder who can balance, protect the defense, and provide clean ball distribution. Rúben Neves meets these criteria. Leadership, experience in big stages, and a tactical profile that fits the demands of LaLiga.

Furthermore, the Portuguese player does not hide his desire. He is willing to lower his conditions and prioritize the sporting project over other factors.

The economic obstacle sets the tone for the operation

Here lies the major problem. Real Madrid does not consider paying any transfer fee in this winter market for Rúben Neves. The policy is clear: if anyone arrives in January, it must be at zero cost or under very advantageous conditions.

Therefore, the only possible route is through an early termination with Al Hilal, something that is not guaranteed at this time.

The role of Al Hilal in the negotiation

There is no rush from Saudi Arabia. Al Hilal has Rúben Neves until the end of the season and does not have financial urgency to facilitate his exit. However, the club is aware that the player will not renew and could leave for free in the summer.

This reality allows room for negotiation, although the definitive move has not yet occurred.

LaLiga, the player's main goal

For Rúben Neves, returning to a top European league is a priority. LaLiga represents a sporting and competitive opportunity that he considers crucial at this stage of his career. The midfielder believes he still has a lot of football to offer at the highest level and sees Real Madrid as the ideal stage.

His circle is working to find a solution that satisfies all parties involved.

Time plays a decisive role

Time is running out. The market is advancing, and Real Madrid will not act unless the exact conditions are met. Meanwhile, Rúben Neves waits. He hopes that Al Hilal will agree to negotiate an early exit that unlocks the operation.

If not, the scenario shifts to summer, where the player would be free and the white club would have an open door. Until then, the situation remains on hold. The desire is there, the need as well, but only a gesture from Saudi Arabia can bring Rúben Neves to Real Madrid and allow him to compete again in LaLiga.
