In a radio statement that drew attention, Steve Kalzada, the CEO of Al-Hilal Saudi Club, clarified that the club's management has not directly communicated with Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, a player for Real Madrid.

Kalzada indicated, during an appearance on the "El Larguero" program, that reports regarding negotiations between Al-Hilal and Vinicius are not accurate, explaining that the source of this news is statements made by the president of the Spanish League in a press interview.

The Al-Hilal official emphasized that the circulating news falls within the tactics of player agents who use rumors to bolster their players' positions, whether to increase contract value or to secure profitable future transfers.

Kalzada confirmed that Al-Hilal respects contracts and operates transparently in the player recruitment file, relying on formal and direct communication when wishing to negotiate with any star.

He concluded by stating that the club does not get carried away by repeated rumors, and that Al-Hilal's current focus is on strengthening its squad with names that serve its ambitious sports project in the upcoming championships.
