Among his various consultations, De Rossi contacted Kalidou Koulibaly of Al-Hilal, who had the opportunity to play with Abdulhamid.

In an interview Koulibaly said: “When I heard about his transfer to Roma, it seemed normal to me. De Rossi called me to ask my opinion on Saud, and I gave him only positive feedback.”

“He is a strong player, both individually and tactically, and has shown great growth in recent seasons.”
