The management of Al-Hilal Saudi Club, headed by Prince Nawaf bin Saad, decided to stop negotiations regarding the signing of Sultan Mandash, the player of Al-Taawoun, during the upcoming winter transfer window in January.

Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of Al-Hilal, had recommended signing the player to support the attacking line in the second half of the season, but Al-Taawoun's management informed their counterparts at Al-Hilal that Mandash is not available for sale and will remain with the team until the end of the season.

Accordingly, Al-Hilal's management officially decided to suspend the deal and began proposing alternative names to coach Inzaghi to sign during the winter market, according to Al-Youm newspaper.

Al-Hilal's management is moving towards setting a new plan for attacking signings, aiming to strengthen the team's offensive power in the upcoming phase.
