Saudi reports revealed that Al-Hilal's management has begun serious steps to secure the future of Moroccan international goalkeeper Yassine Bounou by extending his contract for an additional season until 2027.

This move comes after the stunning performances Bounou has delivered with Al-Hilal, both in the domestic league and the FIFA Club World Cup, which have solidified his position as one of the best goalkeepers in Asia and the Arab world.

Bounou's contract with the club extends until the summer of 2026, but Al-Hilal's management wants to secure their star early and ensure his continued presence for a longer period after the remarkable levels he has shown since joining the club.

The plan includes improving the financial terms of the contract to match Bounou's technical value and his crucial role in local and international tournaments, especially after his notable brilliance in the recent FIFA Club World Cup.

An official announcement regarding the extension is expected to be made in the coming period, reflecting the management's commitment to the stability of the team and enhancing its core elements to achieve further successes.
