Leeds United are reportedly eyeing an ambitious move to sign Ruben Neves in the upcoming January transfer window, as revealed by talkSPORT.
Currently sitting in 16th place in the Premier League with 20 points from 18 games, Leeds has had a promising start to the season. Manager Daniel Farke is looking to bolster his squad further to maintain their momentum and take the team to the next level.
According to talkSPORT, Leeds has made inquiries about signing midfielder Ruben Neves from Al Hilal in January. Neves, whose contract expires in the summer, has attracted interest from other clubs like Newcastle United and Manchester United.
Despite Al Hilal’s offer of a new two-year contract, Neves is keen on returning to Europe, leading the Saudi club to consider offers around £15million if he decides against extending his stay.
The potential signing of Neves would showcase Leeds’ ambition and significantly enhance their midfield quality. The Portugal international, known for his skill and contribution at Wolves, could bring valuable experience and talent to Farke’s team.
At only 28 years old, Neves is considered to be in his prime and has proven his worth at Al Hilal with impressive stats of 14 goals and 25 assists in 108 appearances. With Leeds aiming to improve their technical capabilities and climb up the Premier League standings, Neves could be the missing piece to elevate their game further.
