Ruben Neves made a triumphant return to Molineux last weekend, much to the delight of Wolves fans. His presence marked his first visit since joining Al-Hilal for £47 million in 2023. Neves’ return proved fortuitous as Wolves secured their first Premier League victory of the season against Southampton, with Matheus Cunha shining in a 2-0 triumph and netting a spectacular goal reminiscent of Neves’ iconic long-range strikes.
Post-match, Neves celebrated with the Wolves squad in the dressing room, reaffirming his enduring affection for the club. Despite his departure causing disappointment among fans, Neves’ legacy at Molineux remained unforgettable, given his consistent quality on the field and the financial challenges confronting Wolves.
While speculations about his return persist, Neves remains open to the possibility, stating, “Wolves will always be in our minds,” acknowledging the club’s special significance to him and his family. Although committed to Al-Hilal until 2026, the prospect of a second stint at Molineux remains uncertain but not entirely ruled out, leaving fans hopeful for a reunion, even if it materializes later in his career.
