Rúben Neves is preparing for a possible return to the Premier League as Manchester United and Newcastle are positioning themselves to compete for a reinforcement that could become one of the most interesting moves of the winter market.

Rúben Neves has made it clear that he wants to return to the Premier League and is looking for an ambitious project that guarantees him playing time and stability. His time at Al Hilal could end prematurely due to his contract and the increasing interest from England.

Manchester United Accelerates for Rúben Neves

Rúben Neves is on Manchester United's list of options, as they seek to strengthen the midfield with a profile capable of offering balance and immediate leadership. At Old Trafford, they believe that the Portuguese midfielder possesses these characteristics and can quickly adapt to their style of play. Manchester United had already shown interest during the summer and has inquired again about his contractual situation. The player's contract expires at the end of the season, opening the door to a departure at an accessible price for any Premier League club.

Rúben Neves commands a very high salary in Saudi Arabia, with figures exceeding four hundred thousand euros weekly, but United is considering adjusting the deal due to the player's desire to return to Europe. For the club's management, this represents a market opportunity they don't want to miss. Manchester's team aims to capitalize on his wish to return to competing at the highest level, especially in a season where the midfield has shown inconsistency. The sports management sees the Portuguese as a player ready to assume a key role from day one.

Newcastle Doesn't Give Up and Wants His Return

Newcastle also sees Rúben Neves' arrival as a priority following issues with squad depth. Eddie Howe needs a midfielder with experience, control of the game's pace, and the ability to excel in defensive transitions. Newcastle maintains constant contact with his camp and closely monitors their financial options, particularly due to his high salary. Nevertheless, the player views the sporting project positively and values his proximity to the English fans after his time at Wolverhampton.

Rúben Neves feels he has unfinished business in the Premier League and sees Newcastle as a solid, growing project. The club is considering a proposal that could be around twenty million euros, a feasible sum considering his contract and Al Hilal's desire to avoid a free departure.

In addition to Manchester United and Newcastle, other teams like Tottenham have requested information about the midfielder. His experience in England, vision of the game, and ability to lead in midfield make him a sought-after player. Rúben Neves believes this is a crucial point in his sports career. At 28 years old, he aims to return to a competitive environment that allows him to contend for titles and regain the form that made him one of the most reliable midfielders in the Premier League.

Rúben Neves Will Decide His Future in England in January

Manchester United and Newcastle remain the main contenders, though it will all depend on their ability to meet his salary demands. The player, on the other hand, prioritizes the sporting project and a leading role.

Rúben Neves is gearing up for a decisive month. The winter market will shape the course of his career, and both Manchester United and Newcastle are ready to compete for his signing. His talent, experience, and ambition make him one of the most enticing opportunities in the Premier League for this transfer window.
