Al-Hilal continues its ambitious moves in the transfer market, aiming to sign big European names, primarily Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni, a star of Inter Milan, as reported by journalist Akram Konor.

Konor clarified that the new coach Simone Inzaghi is strongly pressuring Al-Hilal's management to contract with Bastoni, given the club's desire to strengthen its defense with strong European expertise supporting its renewed project.

In the same context, Al-Hilal has midfielder Nicolo Barella on its list of interests, despite his initial rejection of the offered deal, indicating the club's insistence on attracting high-profile names from the Italian league.

The management of Al-Hilal continues to closely monitor Barella's situation, hoping that the huge financial offers and the evolving sports project will entice him to join the ranks of "the Leader" in the upcoming phase.

Despite these efforts, Al-Hilal faces significant obstacles in the market, as several stars, such as Theo Hernandez from Milan and Osimhen from Napoli, have so far refused to move to the Saudi league.
