Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, head of Saudi club Al Hilal, revealed key aspects of the team's plan for the winter transfer window, confirming that the management is considering strengthening the squad as the transfer market officially opens.

Inzaghi clarified, in statements reported by the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah, that the selection process will officially begin at the start of January, amid ongoing discussions with Al-Hilal's management and the company overseeing the team's affairs.

The Al-Hilal coach pointed out that having only eight foreign players on the roster is a crucial factor in planning, which requires great precision when considering any new signings.

Inzaghi spoke about facing Al-Khulood, emphasizing that his team had a strong start against a worthy opponent, and considering that reaching the King’s Cup semi-finals reflects Al-Hilal’s competitive character.

The Italian coach pointed out the good level that Muteb Al-Harbi showed in his new position, while explaining the difficulty of relying on Abdul Karim Darsi defensively due to his offensive nature.

Inzaghi resumed his comments about the match against Manchester City in the Club World Cup, emphasizing that the game was special and that Al Hilal succeeded in winning with a strong performance.

The Al Hilal coach concluded his statements by responding to Pep Guardiola, emphasizing the strong relationship between them and expressing his confidence that the Spanish coach will not forget what Al Hilal showed in that match.
