The management of Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal Club has finalized its first move in the winter transfer market, successfully securing a new deal to strengthen the team for the remainder of the current season's competitions.

Al Hilal's management finalized their agreement with Al Khaleej Club to sign the international player Murad Hawsawi, responding to a direct request from the team's head coach, Italian Simone Inzaghi, who recommended acquiring the player.

Al Hilal's management agreed to the financial terms set by the officials of Al Khaleej Club to finalize the deal, while Ohod Club will receive 40% of the player's transfer fee.

The website "Al-Midan Sports" reported that the deal was finalized after all parties reached an agreement, with no obstacles hindering the player's transfer to the ranks of Al-Za'im.

Murad Hawsawi moved to Al-Khaleej in 2024 on loan from Ohod Club, before his transfer was later made permanent.

Hawsawi is under contract with Al-Khaleej Club until 2029, before Al-Hilal successfully reached an agreement to sign him during the current winter transfer window.

The 24-year-old player participated in 11 matches with Al Khaleej this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists, over 852 minutes of play.
