But sounds like Neves has been sold to…..Al Hilal for 55m. Happy with the fee but I thought he wanted to play Champions League? Could understand this move when he’s 30, but not at 26 when he can still start for one of the top clubs in Europe.
I think his preference would be to play Champions League football, and probably to play for Barcelona as was widely reported. That deal doesn't appear to have worked out because Xavi wasn't convinced? Or because Fati wasn't prepared to move the other way?

I would imagine, sadly, that money will play a big part in this decision as far as Ruben's concerned, he will be on astronomical wages and his future will be secure as a result... although I'm sure it is already. I'm pleased if this pans out that he won't be lining up against us next season, that would be tough!

This truly is the end of an era, if and when it happens, but I wish him well we have been blessed having him and Moutinho marshalling our midfield for so long.
