Portuguese star Ruben Neves, midfielder for Al Hilal Saudi Club, has entered Real Madrid's circle of interest as one of the potential solutions during the upcoming winter transfer window, according to the Spanish website "Fichajes".

This move comes amid the difficulties faced by the royal team this season in imposing control over the pace of matches, as coach Xabi Alonso's men have suffered from the absence of a player capable of controlling the rhythm of play and dominating the matches.

The coaching staff sees in Neves a qualitative addition that could provide greater balance to the midfield, especially since the team has struggled after Toni Kroos retired and Luka Modric left last summer.

The future of the deal remains linked to Real Madrid's management decision and their readiness to move officially in January, knowing that the player's contract expires at the end of the current season, amid interest from several clubs to sign him.

It is worth mentioning that the Portuguese star joined Al Hilal in 2023 coming from Wolverhampton for 55 million euros, and has played 106 matches with Al Hilal, scoring 14 goals and assisting 25.
