Ruben Neves joined Al-Hilal after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers and has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Newcastle United.
Former Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves may face obstacles in returning to the Premier League due to proposed new regulations. Premier League clubs are scheduled to vote on November 21 on rules that would restrict the ability to sign players from associated clubs. If passed, this could impede any potential move for Neves from his Saudi club, Al-Hilal, to Newcastle United.

Neves had been linked with a move to Newcastle following the lengthy suspension of midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Magpies, with their Saudi connections, could have explored the possibility of bringing in players from the Middle East, with Neves being a prime example.
When questioned about the potential impact of the new rules, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe declined to provide specific details but suggested that reporters could assume his side would challenge the changes. Howe, who has faced numerous inquiries about off-the-field matters since taking over as manager, appears prepared for such discussions.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe refrained from commenting on the motives behind the proposed rule changes affecting player transfers but emphasized the team’s commitment to working within the rules set by the Premier League. Howe emphasized his focus on the football world and his role in competing on the pitch, expressing the need to respect and adhere to the regulations.
“I’m not involved in that world; I’m involved in the football world. We want to compete on the pitch within the rules that are set for us. It’s difficult for me to give you chapter and verse because it’s not a situation I’m in any control over,” Howe stated.
He acknowledged his limited involvement in decision-making regarding rule changes and emphasized the importance of reacting to changes as they come. Howe suggested that drawing conclusions about the motives behind the rule changes would be more appropriate for observers rather than him.
Ruben Neves, the former Wolves midfielder, had a significant impact at Molineux, making 253 appearances, scoring 30 goals, and providing 13 assists during his time at the club.
