Neves, who scored 30 goals in 253 appearances during six seasons with Wolves, wiped away tears in an emotional video p💝osted on the club's Twitter account, saying he had made “thousand♋s of memories which will last forever”.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club's website: “Ruben is the embodiment of everything you lo🌃ok for when trying to bring players into a football club: a leader, a humble man and an extremely talented footbal🌱ler who took Wolves to a different level.
“He was part of a great era for this club and will go down as one of ou♑r best-ever players. We are grateful for everything he has done for Wolves and wish him and his family the very best for the future.”
Neves, who had one year remaining on his contract, was part of the Wolves team, which won the Ch🀅ampionship second-tier title in 2018 following his move from෴ Porto.
