• ##fa-refresh## Transfer Info
• Ruben Neves estimated cost is between £9M to £18.25M, but I have been able to snatch him for £16M at the start of the first season or in the first January transfer window. His contract ends in 2017 with F.C. Porto so with any luck you might just get him on Bosman if Porto by any chance don't renew his contract, small chance but it's there, be sure to keep him on your transfer list for updates.
