Ruben Neves has admitted he was close to a move to Barcelona before opting to leave Wolves and join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Barcelona were heavily linked with the Portugal international, who made it very clear he would love to play for the Catalans.
Neves has now opened up on the speculation and claims a move to Barcelona nearly happened.
“I was close to three clubs and finally it didn’t happen, which made me sad and helped me make the decision to go to Al Hilal,” he told O Jogo.
