Al Hilal has opened preliminary channels of communication with representatives of English player Phil Foden, who plays for Manchester City, to gauge his interest in embarking on a new experience in the Saudi Pro League next season.
This step is part of Al Hilal's efforts to attract global names, coinciding with its attempts to bolster the team with several strong signings during the summer transfer window.
The club continues its efforts to finalize the transfer of Dutch player Crycensio Summerville, alongside its interest in signing English forward Harry Kane, as part of a comprehensive plan to strengthen various positions.
Reports indicate that Al Hilal's management has inquired about Phil Foden's readiness to leave the Premier League and embark on a new experience under Italian coach Simone Inzaghi.
Al Hilal faces a major hurdle, as Manchester City is adamant about retaining their star player, with no clear signs of the English club's willingness to negotiate his departure.
Data suggests that Foden prefers to continue his career within Europe, as he wishes to remain competitive in major tournaments in the upcoming phase.
The player is under contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2027, while his market value is approximately €70 million, making the deal dependent on the club's and player's stance.
