Reports have revealed that Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper of Saudi club Al-Hilal, received a phone call from the president of Sevilla FC to congratulate him on the amazing performance he delivered in the recent FIFA Club World Cup.

According to the same information, Sevilla's management has shown great interest in bringing Bounou back to the team in the summer of 2026, when his contract with Al-Hilal ends, with the intention of transferring him for free in a historic return deal for the Andalusian club.

Reports indicated that Bounou is open to the idea of returning to Sevilla, which he considers an important stop in his career, as he excelled in the Spanish team's jersey and led them to win the UEFA Europa League title, before embarking on a successful new experience in the Saudi league.

If this scenario is completed, Bounou's return to Sevilla could serve as a final farewell to La Liga, where his name shone as one of the top goalkeepers in recent years.
