It’s now official: Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly will not be leaving Al Hilal during this summer transfer window.
Signed in 2023 from Chelsea for a hefty sum of €23 million, the "Lion" is tied to the Saudi football giant by a contract running until 2026.
According to Saudi media, Italian coach Simone Inzaghi has informed his employers that he intends to count on the Senegalese rock for the upcoming season.
A standout performer at the Club World Cup, the former Napoli star was one of the driving forces behind Al Hilal’s qualification for the quarter-finals of the tournament.
In 94 matches across all competitions, the Senegal international has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists. His current market value is estimated at €6 million, which is €69 million less than it was back in 2019.
