On October 17, Al-Hilal suffered a hard blow when he learned of the serious injury of Neymar Jr, recruited at a high price during the summer transfer window, during the match between Brazil and Uruguay as part of the qualifiers for the World Cup. Orphaned by its star striker, the Saudi club now has its eyes fixed on the next transfer market and plans to find a worthy replacement.
It is in this perspective that SPORT evokes a renewed interest on the part of Al-Hilal for a handful of residents from the old continent. In addition to Jadon Sancho, whose situation seems to have reached a point of no return at Manchester United, the Saudi Pro League team also plans to take action for Raphinha. Since his arrival in Catalonia, the Brazilian winger has struggled to establish himself sustainably in Xavi’s squad and at the same time has suffered the emergence of Lamine Yamal. On the Barça side, a sale would be welcome with a view to replenishing the coffers, especially since the player was already pushed out last summer.
