Saturday 07-02-2026
Steve Calzada, the CEO of Al Hilal Club, commented on the controversy regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's displeasure with Karim Benzema's deal, as well as the discussions about the potential signing of Mohamed Salah and the return of Saud Abdulhamid.

Kalzada's response came during his appearance on the "On Sport" channel, where he clarified that he is unaware of the truth behind what is being circulated about Ronaldo's situation, emphasizing that much of what is published falls within the realm of media rumors.

He pointed out that Karim Benzema's transfer is a remarkable deal for Al-Hilal, explaining that the club always includes a selection of the best players, and its success in convincing stars to join reflects its significant stature.

Calzada affirmed that Al-Hilal is considered the biggest club in the Saudi league, and perhaps in the Asian continent, emphasizing that the responsibility of winning titles compels the management to continuously strive to recruit influential names.

Regarding the possibility of signing the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, the CEO of Al-Hilal clarified that he admires what the Liverpool star offers, but he is under an active contract, and it is not his place to discuss the matter.

Kalzada touched on the future of Ruben Neves, confirming that he has received numerous European offers, with a strong desire to extend his contract due to his technical value and the fans' affection for him.

He concluded his remarks by referring to the case of Saud Abdulhamid, clarifying that the issue of his return is not currently on the table, especially since Al Hilal has a distinguished group of players capable of competing strongly.
