The Saudi club Al Hilal has closed the door on speculations regarding the future of the Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, after officially finalizing the renewal of his contract, in a move that reflects the management's commitment to keeping one of the team's key pillars.

According to what was published by Al Hilal's account on the 'X' platform, the management of the leader has completed its agreement with Neves to renew his contract until 2029, especially since the player's current contract was set to expire at the end of the current football season.

Al Hilal had signed Ruben Neves in the summer of 2023 from the English club Wolverhampton, with a contract extending for three seasons, and since joining, the player has succeeded in delivering outstanding performances that made him an indispensable element in the team's midfield.

The decision to finalize the renewal file came based on a direct recommendation from the Italian Simone Inzaghi, Al Hilal's head coach, who emphasized the importance of keeping Neves within the ranks of 'the leader' due to his influential role and vast experience on the field.
