Al Hilal Club is keen to finalize the contract renewal of Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves during the current period, as the management aims to retain the team's key players and ensure technical stability for the upcoming seasons.

Al Hilal had opened negotiations with Neves to renew his contract, which currently runs until the end of the 2026 season. The club aims to secure his stay, especially amid increasing rumors about a possible return to Europe, particularly as he enters the free period of his contract next January.

According to what the "Thamaniya" channel reported, citing an informed source, Al-Hilal's management is awaiting a final response from the player within the next few days regarding the offer to renew his contract for three years, while keeping his current salary unchanged.

The channel pointed out that Neves' response had not arrived by this morning, despite a sense of optimism within the club's corridors about the possibility of reaching a final agreement.

This optimism is further supported by Al-Hilal management's approval to extend the contract duration from two years to three years, in a move aimed at convincing the player to remain with the team.
