Neves has been linked with a move to Spanish champions Barcelona since last season but have now been snapped up in the Saudi Pro League craze.
A statement on the Wolves website said, “Although Wolves’ modern-day king has abdicated his Molineux throne, Ruben Neves’ legacy will shine on at the golden palace for eternity.”
Adding that, “No other player has made such an impact on the pitch in gold and black during the last six years having featured more than 250 times in a remarkable period in the club’s history.
“Switching Champions League-chasing Porto for the Championship lights of the Black Country, Neves’ landmark signing was the first inkling of what was to come in that second tier-winning season and forming the foundation of the Wolves which is known across the world today.”
