The Brazilian Renan Lodi, defender for Al-Hilal, is undergoing a thorough technical evaluation by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi during the ongoing camp in Donaueschingen, Germany, to determine his future with the team.

Informed sources confirmed that the decision regarding the player's continuation or departure will be made after the conclusion of the external camp, as the Al-Hilal management relies on the coach's new vision for building the team for the upcoming season.

The final decision is expected to be made in the coming days, amidst the Al-Hilal administration's moves to strengthen the squad with local and foreign elements that serve Inzaghi's technical strategy.

The player's agent, Pablo Miranda, stated last May that the club informed him there was no intention to part ways with Lodi, emphasizing that the player is part of the team's future project.

Miranda pointed out that terminating the contract can only be done through pre-agreed terms, but he stressed Lodi's full commitment to Al-Hilal and his readiness to face the new season without thoughts of leaving.

Lodi joined Al-Hilal in January 2024 from French club Marseille, participating in 42 matches last season, during which he scored 4 goals and provided 10 assists.

The player is 27 years old, with a market value estimated at around 13 million euros according to Transfermarkt, making him one of the prominent names on Al-Hilal's roster.

The administration aims to finalize the evaluation of the foreign and local player roster before the new season begins, ensuring a balance between the coach's requirements and the club's competitive aspirations.
