Ruben Neves signing up for Al Hilal shows Saudi Pro League not just a retirement home

[ad_1] — Ruben Neves (@rubendsneves_) June 23, 2023 Ruben Neves is perhaps the most curious case of them all. The 26-year old Portuguese captains Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And yet Neves has done it, and possibly set a precedent for more such moves to follow. Then there is a second set of players, those in their early 30s with plenty of o...
