Al Hilal: Is Yassine Bounou on his way out?

Will Yassine Bounou still be at Al Hilal next season? The Moroccan goalkeeper, who joined in August 2023 as a key player, could be packing his bags as soon as the upcoming summer transfer window. The reason: team performances falling short of expectations and a shift in the club’s direction.

At 34 years old, the former Sevilla FC shot-stopper still boasts impressive numbers: 36 appearances this season across the Saudi Pro League and the AFC Champions League. Since his arrival, he has also added to his trophy haul with Al Hilal by winning the league title, the King’s Cup, and two Super Cups.

But after coach Jorge Jesus’ departure and a season that might end without a major title, the management is reportedly considering a new era. His contract runs until June 2026. However, a decision on Yassine Bounou’s future could be made right after the Club World Cup in June 2025. This is a developing story.
