Saudi Club Al Hilal Nears Deal for Morocco's Star Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou

The list of suitors for Yassine Bounou is expanding. After Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or even PSG, it is now Al Hilal’s turn to enter the race to sign the Atlas Lions goalkeeper? The Saudi club would be close to reaching an agreement with Sevilla FC.

Al Hilal, Yassine Bounou’s next destination? The Sevilla FC goalkeeper would be heading straight for Al Hilal FC, which has offered a huge two-year contract (222 million euros) to PSG star Neymar (31, 20 games and 13 goals in Ligue 1 for the 2022-2023 season). He would have reached an agreement with the Saudi club, report Saudi sports media such as the newspaper Arryadiyah.

"Al Hilal is getting closer to an agreement with Sevilla FC regarding Yassine Bono," Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, known for his reliable information on football transfers, also points out. He will add that the negotiations between the two clubs are about the final details, including the setting of a price that oscillates between 18 and 19 million euros. "Bayern has left the negotiations, as it believes that Al Hilal’s offer is much higher," he said. The next few hours are therefore expected to be decisive for the transfer of "Bono" to Al Hilal.
