Al Hilal Saudi Club has settled the recent controversy regarding its links to signing Inter Milan duo Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi during the current winter transfer window.

A news report revealed that Al Hilal's management does not include the duo in its technical plans for the winter transfer window, contrary to what has been circulated in recent days.

The Saudi newspaper Al-Yaum mentioned that the reason is due to relying on the current players in the defense line, led by the Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, along with Youssef Akchichek.

Earlier media reports indicated that Al-Hilal had entered into negotiations with Acerbi and De Vrij, before those reports were indirectly denied.

In a related context, Italian coach Simone Inzaghi explained that the club's management is carefully considering all options with the aim of strengthening the blue team's squad during the current winter transfer window.

This development comes after Al Hilal's 3-1 victory over Al-Kholood in the twelfth round of the Roshn Saudi League.
