Uncertainty Over Al Hilal and Star Midfielder
Al Hilal struggles to retain Mohammed Kanoo as his contract nears expiration, with rival clubs expressing interest.
The future of Mohammed Kanoo, the standout midfielder for Al Hilal, has become a major talking point in the Saudi Pro League. Kanoo, whose contract is set to expire this summer, has officially entered the free agency period, allowing him to negotiate freely with other clubs without needing Al Hilal’s approval.
According to reports from the Saudi press, contract renewal talks between Al Hilal and Kanoo are ongoing but have not progressed significantly. This delay has reportedly drawn attention from rival clubs, including Neom and Al Ahli Jeddah, both of which are keen to secure the talented midfielder's services should he opt not to renew his deal.
Kanoo has been instrumental to Al Hilal’s recent success, consistently demonstrating his value on the pitch. His performances have earned the trust and confidence of Portuguese head coach Jorge Jesus, who has publicly called for the club management to prioritize Kanoo’s contract extension to maintain the team’s competitive edge.
With the summer transfer window approaching, the pressure is mounting on Al Hilal to make a decisive move. Fans of the Riyadh-based club are eager for a resolution, knowing that losing Kanoo could significantly impact the team’s midfield strength as they compete in domestic and continental tournaments.
The coming weeks will be crucial as the club works to secure Kanoo's future while fending off interest from rival teams. For now, the situation remains fluid, and Al Hilal supporters are anxiously awaiting updates on this pivotal negotiation.
