Portugal coach Martinez 'happy' for Neves over Al Hilal move

Portugal coach Roberto Martinez insists Ruben Neves' move to Al Hilal won't be a problem.

The former Wolves captain is leaving for Saudi Arabia in a £47m deal.

Martinez said: "Since Cristiano Ronaldo went to play in Saudi Arabia, this market can be considered open.

"I hope that Neves will continue to play at a high level. I'm happy for him."

There is talk of Neves being loaned back to Wolves for the first-half of next season.
