Saudi Arabia giants Al-Hilal beat Barcelona to the agreement with Wolves for Ruben Neves.
Odion Ighalo's former club, Al-Hilal has reportedly reached an agreement with Wolves for the signing of Ruben Neves.
The Portugal international has one more year on his contract and looked set to leave the Midlands club after what looked like an emotional farewell in the last league game of the season.
He has been on the radar of LaLiga champions Barcelona, with members of the club leadership interested in Neves; however, their finances prevented them from making a move. The player is now set for a move to the Gulf.
