Rúben Neves

In July 2023, the player's transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Al-Hilal was completed for a reported €55 million. More recently, during the transfer rumours of late 2025 and early 2026, his expiring contract situation led to lower valuations. Reports in December 2025 suggested Al-Hilal would accept offers starting from £15 million (approx. €17.5 million) up to around €20 million. In January 2026, Manchester United was repeatedly linked with a £20 million (approx. €23.5 million) move, and one report mentioned a formal offer of €23 million had been submitted. Throughout this period, his Transfermarkt value was cited as being between €25 million and €28 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent reporting during the January 2026 transfer window, where Rúben Neves was in the final six months of his contract. Multiple sources indicated Al-Hilal's willingness to sell for a fee in the €18-24 million range to avoid a free transfer. Widespread interest from clubs like Manchester United, who were reportedly preparing offers in this bracket, supports this valuation, which is a significant decrease from his €55 million transfer in 2023 due to the contract situation.
