The Saudi club Al-Hilal finally seems to have convinced a European star to come and strengthen its offensive sector.
Anxious to strike a blow on the transfer market, as did its rival Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal has multiplied in recent weeks the approaches with the stars of world football in the hope of also having its star. It didn’t work with Lionel Messi and even less so with Kylian Mbappé, but another renowned striker chose to say yes to this team.
Jorge Mendes will get a big jackpot
The striker in question is Joao Felix. According to information from the daily O Jogo, the Lusitanian international has agreed to join the Saudi Pro League. He is desperate to leave Atlético Madrid and having received no suitable offers in Europe, the former Benfiquist has agreed to try his luck in the Middle East.
This move must also do the business of Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent. A deal with a Saudi club should ensure maximum commissions. Much more in any case than an agreement with Wolverhampton, who also had their sights on the undesirable Diego Simeone.
If this transfer ends up happening, Joao Felix will play in the same league as his illustrious compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo. The two friends could even face off this week in the final of the Arab Cup of Champions Clubs if all the planets are aligned.
