Yassine Bounou on the verge of renewing his contract with Al Hilal

After intense negotiations lasting several weeks, Moroccan international goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is reportedly close to signing a new contract with Saudi club Al Hilal.

Multiple offers from European clubs tried to lure Bounou back to the continent, but he has expressed his preference to continue his impressive journey in the Saudi Pro League, where he feels he’s at the height of his career.

Bounou and Al Hilal have ironed out nearly all details, with the new agreement expected to last two years, bringing financial improvements and special clauses that recognize his vital role within the squad. The club plans to make an official announcement in the coming days, which should put to rest the persistent rumors about a potential move to Europe.

Since joining Al Hilal in 2023, Bounou has become one of the team’s cornerstones, helping capture the Saudi League title, the national cup, and the Super Cup twice.

With speculation ending, fans and club management eagerly anticipate Bounou continuing as the guardian of Al Hilal’s ambition and trophy hopes for the foreseeable future.
