Al Hilal Refutes La Liga Offer for Hassan Tambakti
Al Hilal denies reports of a formal approach from Deportivo Alavés for defender Hassan Tambakti, highlighting his importance to their squad.
Al Hilal, one of Saudi Arabia's top football clubs, has dismissed rumors of receiving a formal offer from La Liga side Deportivo Alavés for their star defender, Hassan Tambakti. Recent speculation suggested that the Spanish club was considering a six-month loan deal for Tambakti, but Al Hilal's management has clarified that no official proposal has been submitted.
Tambakti, a 25-year-old Saudi international, has been a key player for Al Hilal in their domestic and international campaigns this season. With 14 appearances and 788 minutes of play across competitions, his defensive capabilities have significantly bolstered the team's performance. Retaining Tambakti is a priority for Al Hilal as they aim for continued success in the Saudi Pro League and the AFC Champions League.
Reports from Saudi media indicate that while Deportivo Alavés may have expressed informal interest, La Liga's strict regulations on non-European player registrations complicate any potential transfer. Each La Liga club is allowed to register only three non-European players, meaning Alavés would need to adjust their current roster to accommodate Tambakti.
Despite the approaching closure of the Spanish winter transfer window on February 3rd, the lack of a formal bid makes a move to La Liga highly improbable. Al Hilal has reaffirmed their commitment to keeping Tambakti, emphasizing his integral role in the team's ambitions for the current season.
The rumors surrounding Tambakti highlight the growing recognition of Saudi football talent on the global stage. However, Al Hilal's firm stance on retaining their star defender underscores their focus on achieving success with a strong and cohesive squad.
