Some Saudi press reports revealed that the management of Al-Hilal Club finally settled, in agreement with the coaching staff, on the survival of Brazilian Michael Delgado and the non-exclusion of his services during the winter transfer window.
Michel participated in 21 games this season at a rate of 1,513 minutes and managed to score 3 goals and 6 assists.
In the same vein, there is talk about the al-hilal Club management’s position on signing a replacement for Brazilian Neymar da Silva, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury.
According to medical reports, Neymar suffered a knee injury requiring a long period of treatment and rehabilitation. Thus, the player will be unable to participate in games and training for a long time, meaning that Al-Hilal will miss his services until the end of the current season.
With Neymar’s absence, the question arises about the al-hilal administration’s plans to compensate for his absence and strengthen the ranks of the Panel.
According to press reports close to the leader, the Al-Hilal administration will not open the contract file for Neymar’s replacement until winter transfers open next January, as it wishes to assess options and negotiate better.
Portuguese head coach Jorge Jesus previously confirmed last November the club’s intention to sign a replacement for Neymar, but declined to name any names.
The Jesus-led al-hilal technician handled Neymar’s absence perfectly, as the team has suffered no loss this season in various tournaments.
On the other hand, the al-hilal administration has not yet decided on the date of the outpost camp’s stay during the hiatus.
The Saudi League will cease on December 28 until February 15, when the 2023 Asian Cup will be held in Qatar and the African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
Al-Hilal is at the top of the league with 44 points, 7 points behind Al-Nasr the nearest pursuit, and has qualified for the AFC Champions League last 16 after leading their group with 16 points.
Al-Hilal booked his seat in the quarter-finals of the king cup, where his counterpart will face the two.
