Simeone Inzaghi, the head coach of Al Hilal, has made an urgent decision regarding the Brazilian player Marcos Leonardo, following increasing rumors about his departure from the team during the current winter transfer window.

Close sources confirmed that Inzaghi surprised Marcos Leonardo with a clear decision, emphasizing that the idea of his departure in the winter transfer window is completely off the table at the moment.

The Al-Hilal coach informed the Brazilian player that he is a key element in the team's project and will rely on him as the main striker during the remaining local and continental competitions this season.

This decision came to put an end to the speculations linking the name of Marcos Leonardo with departure, amid talks about Al-Hilal's desire to make changes at the attacking line.

In the same context, Al-Hilal officials are working to strengthen the team's roster with several new signings, in line with Simone Inzaghi's technical vision for the upcoming phase.

Al Hilal recently announced the official signing of Spanish defender Pablo Marí from Italian club Fiorentina, along with the addition of Sultan Mendesh, while nearing an agreement with Murad Hawsawi.
