Ruben Neves, born on March 13, 1997, in Mozelos, Portugal, began his football journey within FC Porto’s youth system at the age of eight. His exceptional talent quickly became apparent, leading to his first-team debut at just 17 years old. On August 15, 2014, he not only made his Primeira Liga debut but also scored, becoming the youngest player in the club’s history to do so in the competition. Days later, he further broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s record by becoming the youngest Portuguese player to appear in the UEFA Champions League. Neves quickly established himself as a central figure, and by October 2015, at 18 years and 221 days, he became the youngest captain in Champions League history. He concluded his time at Porto with 93 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals.
In July 2017, Neves made a significant move to EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers for a club and league record fee of approximately £15.8 million, reuniting with former Porto manager Nuno Espírito Santo. During his first season, he played a pivotal role in securing their promotion to the Premier League as champions, scoring six goals in 42 appearances, all from outside the box. His outstanding performance earned him the club’s Player of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season, and Goal of the Season awards, along with being included in the EFL Championship Team of the Season. He continued to be a crucial player for Wolves, making 253 appearances and scoring 30 goals over six seasons, helping the club achieve two consecutive seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League, an FA Cup semi-final in 2019, and a Europa League quarter-final in 2020.
In June 2023, Neves transferred to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal for a reported fee of £47 million, marking a new chapter in his career alongside other high-profile players. For the Portugal national team, Neves progressed through various youth levels, captaining the U17 team to the semi-finals of the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He made his senior international debut for Portugal in 2015 at the age of 18 and has since earned 61 caps, scoring one goal. He was a member of the Portugal squads for UEFA Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and Euro 2024, and was part of the team that won the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025.
