The Saudi Arabian giants are in full swing, with transfer experts such as Fabrizio Romano revealing that Hilal's £47 million (about HK$470 million) bid for Portuguese midfielder Rubin Neves has been accepted by Wolves, which is an astronomical transfer fee considering Rubin Neves only has one year left on his contract.
It is reported that Rubinieves' first choice is to join Barcelona, but due to Barcelona's lack of action, Hilal can take advantage of the situation. Wolves have agreed to the offer immediately after receiving the astronomical price, and will arrange medical tests and signing ceremonies, and will be reunited with his Portuguese national teammate, Cron, when he arrives in Saudi Arabia. Rubin Neves is only 26 years old and this transfer will break the image of Saudi Arabia as a club that only signs old men and free agents.
