Moroccan goalkeeper ,Yassine Bounou, has left Spanish club Sevilla, to sign for Saudi club Al-Hilal.
Bounou, who started this week in the UEFA Super Cup against Manchester City, is Al-Hilal’s second major signing of the week after the acquisition of Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.
“FC Sevilla and Al-Hilal have reached an agreement for the transfer of goalkeeper Bounou to the Asian team,” said Sevilla in a statement, while Al-Hilal released a video on X (formerly Twitter) in which the player spoke in Arabic.
Neither team disclosed the deal’s financial terms, although reports out of Spain estimated the exchange to be worth 20 million euros ($21.7 million).
Bounou and Neymar are the latest in a growing line of players who are leaving Europe for Saudi Arabia, including Sadio Mane, who has signed for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad) and Kalidou Koulibaly who will be their teammate at Al-Hilal.
