Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler is close to moving to Saudi club Neom, after negotiations between the two sides reached their final stages.

Freuler (34 years old) started in all of Switzerland's matches during the 2026 World Cup, alongside his compatriot Granit Xhaka in midfield, and attracted attention with his performances during the tournament.

Despite interest from both Roma and Juventus in securing his services, according to L'Équipe, it appears that the Swiss international is closer to embarking on a new experience in the Saudi league.

Freuler became a free agent after his contract with Bologna expired, having played 40 matches with them last season, and he is expected to join Neom soon, which is led by French coach Christophe Galtier and also includes French defender Malang Sarr.
