Al Hilal Club management has announced its final decision regarding the future of Ali Al-Bulaihi, the first team's defender, granting him the green light to explore new opportunities during the current winter transfer window.

Reports mentioned that Al-Bulaihi has become a substitute in the plans of Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, after not being relied upon in recent matches, raising questions about his future with Al-Zaeem.

Al Arabiya FM radio explained that Al Hilal's management reached an agreement with Al-Bulaihi to facilitate his departure in the winter transfer window, ensuring he has a greater opportunity to play regularly with another team.

There was a previous proposal to loan him to Al-Ittihad for six months in exchange for the right winger Abdulrahman Al-Aboud moving to Al-Hilal. However, the Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição rejected the deal to keep Al-Aboud.

Sources also indicated that the green light for his departure came after Al-Hilal strengthened their defense by signing Spanish defender Pablo Marí on loan from Fiorentina, which reduced the team's need for Al-Bulaihi's services this season.

Al-Bulaihi is expected to look for a suitable opportunity in the Saudi league or abroad to compensate for his limited recent appearances and to ensure optimal preparation for his football future.
