A responsible source within Al-Shabab Club revealed that the management does not intend to activate the option to purchase the contract of defender Ali Al-Bulaihi from Al-Hilal, so the player will return to the ranks of "Al-Za'eem" at the end of the current season.

According to the information, Al-Hilal's management intends to review the offers regarding Al-Bulayhi's future, whether through a permanent sale or by loaning him again during the upcoming summer transfer window, given the interest from some clubs in his services.

In a related context, Portuguese player João Cancelo is nearing a return to Al-Hilal after financial negotiations with Barcelona fell through, which strengthens the team's options on the defensive flanks.

These developments are part of Al Hilal's efforts to reorganize its ranks before the start of the new season, with a comprehensive assessment of the situation of loaned players and available market options.
