According to reports, Rúben Neves is eager to join Real Madrid in this winter transfer window. In fact, the player’s agent has already put forward a recommendation to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s coaching staff believe that the team is in urgent need of strengthening its midfield, and they consider Neves, whose contract is set to expire this June, a solid target. However, to date, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and the club’s management are not inclined to complete such a signing in January.
The reason behind this is that with the player’s contract due to expire in June, Real Madrid believes that splashing the cash to sign him when more than half of the season has passed carries excessive risk, as there is no guarantee that he can quickly integrate into the team and deliver immediate impact.
Al Hilal is interested in renewing the player’s contract and has offered very generous terms. But according to transfer experts, Real Madrid is actually aware of Neves’ willingness to join, it is just that Florentino Pérez and the board’s stance on the matter remains unclear.
Therefore, Real Madrid will stick with its current squad configuration and refrain from making any signings in the winter window.
