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.
