Wolves have announced the departure of Ruben Neves to Al Hilal on a permanent deal and for a club record transfer fee of £47m.
The 26-year-old, whose contract at Molineux was due to expire next summer, had also been been linked with Manchester United in recent transfer windows, but his move to the Saudi Pro League side has now been confirmed.

The Portugal midfielder scored 30 goals in 253 appearances during his six-season stay at Molineux.
“No other player has made such an impact on the pitch in gold and black during the last six years having featured more than 250 times in a remarkable period in the club’s history,” Wolves said in a statement.
“Switching Champions League-chasing Porto for the Championship lights of the Black Country, Neves’ landmark signing was the first inkling of what was to come in that second tier-winning season and forming the foundation of the Wolves which is known across the world today.”
Neves scored six goals and registered one assist in 35 Premier League appearances for Wolves during the 2022/23 Premier League season.
