In a surprising move, Italian journalist Rudy Galetti revealed exciting developments within the corridors of Al-Hilal during the exceptional registration period approved by FIFA.

According to reports, Al-Hilal's negotiations were not limited to bringing in Spanish full-back Angelino from AS Roma, but also extended to Saudi star Soud Abdulhamid.

The player, who is currently experiencing a professional stint at a European club, caught the attention of Al-Hilal's management, which made an enticing offer to sign him during the last 72 hours of the registration window for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite the seriousness shown by the club's management in their efforts to bring the player back to the Saudi league, Abdulhamid preferred not to respond to the blue offer.

Even though Al-Hilal attempted to regain his services, the player insisted on continuing his professional journey in Europe, holding on to his foreign experience and ambition to develop his level on the old continent.
