Al-Hilal would be close to concluding an agreement with Sevilla FC to enlist Yassine Bounou.

The exodus from Saudi Arabia continues. The Kingdom, through the clubs of the Roshen Saudi League, has recorded the arrival of several stars from the European Big 5 in this summer transfer window. And it’s not finished yet. After the signing of Neymar, Al Hilal, in search of a new goalkeeper, seems to have their new target.

Bounou will join Neymar

Indeed, the Saudi club will enlist Yassine Bounou. The 32-year-old goalkeeper played his last match with Sevilla FC yesterday, on the sidelines of the European Super Cup lost to Manchester City (1-1, 4-5 tab). The Moroccan international will join, for the rest of his career, Al-Hilal, as part of a transfer estimated at 21 million euros, according to information from Fabrizio Romano.

The doorman will sign until 2026 with the Saudi club. Al-Hilal would have already reached an agreement with Sevilla FC and the deal would be closed. Aged 32, Yassine Bounou was recently associated with Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, who was finally loaned Kepa Arrizabalaga by Chelsea.
