Ruben Neves is out of contract in the summer of 2026Ruben Neves is poised to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, dealing a blow to Manchester United's aspirations, according to former Al Hilal player Al Jaber. The Red Devils had been monitoring Neves' expiring contract as a potential bargain opportunity. It seems Neves may slip through their fingers though, with Los Blancos keen to pull off a low-risk, high-reward acquisition. "I fear Neves will move from Al Hilal to Real Madrid for free after his contract expires at the end of this season," he said. There is Real Madrid, and I'm sure there are other clubs interested in Neves."
