ARSENAL and Manchester United could miss out on signing Ruben Neves after he was reportedly the subject of a HUGE transfer offer from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal, who finished third in the Saudi Pro League, have submitted a staggering £47million bid to sign Neves.
The report from Relevo states Neves is expected to sign for the club as early as next week providing there are no further alterations to the plan.
Neves’ current club Wolves are said to prefer a quick sale after drawn-out negotiations with Barcelona, though these talks have been more egged on by Jorge Mendes than the club itself.
The report adds Al-Hilal’s “decisive” stance on negotiations have allowed talks to progress quickly.
Neves is already said to be convinced by the deal, meaning the 26-year-old’s six year stay at Molineux Stadium is set to come to an end.

The Portugal star has previously been linked with a move to both Man United and Arsenal, with both identifying him as an option to bolster their midfield.
However, the Red Devils instead have looked towards Chelsea star Mason Mount, while the Gunners are eyeing up released Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan.
Both are interested in West Ham skipper Declan Rice, but Man Utd’s ongoing takeover saga has left their pursuit of the Englishman in limbo.
With Neves set for a move to the Middle East, he will be joining Portugal team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
