A record transfer to Saudi Arabia!

Al-Hilal will pay 60 million euros to hire the services of Malcom, the former player of Girondins de Bordeaux and FC Barcelona.

And it’s Malcom’s turn! The Brazilian winger from Zénith Saint-Petersburg will also join the Saudi Pro League, by signing with Al-Hilal.

Malcom is on the way to becoming the most expensive player in the Saudi league, since the amount of the transfer will be 60 million euros, according to Nicolo Schira, more than the 55 million euros spent by Al-Hilal to recruit Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton).

However, the former Bordelais is far from the biggest investment made by the Saudi league, which has offered colossal sums in salary and signing bonuses to stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Malcom, he should receive a salary of around 18 million euros annually. He will sign with Al-Hilal until 2026, with an option for an additional season.
