Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, head of Al Hilal club, has finalized the name of the first player who will leave the team during the upcoming January 2026 winter transfer window, in a notable technical move within the Al Hilal camp.

Inzaghi chose to dispense with the services of the forward Mohammed Al-Qahtani after submitting his technical report to the club management, confirming that he does not need the player for the upcoming phase of the season.

Al Hilal's management has already begun waiting for a suitable offer for Al-Qahtani, especially given the interest from several mid-table clubs in the Saudi Roshn League to acquire his services during the winter transfer window.

Mohammed Al-Qahtani, 23 years old, has an extensive experience with Al-Hilal since his promotion to the first team in the 2021-2022 season, coming up from the under-23 squad.

Al-Qahtani played 57 matches for Al-Hilal across various competitions, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists, before being excluded from the current coaching staff's plans.

The young player crowned his time with Al Hilal with 7 titles, including the Saudi League twice, the King's Cup twice, in addition to the Super Cup and the AFC Champions League, marking a successful chapter with the leader.
