Al Hilal has entered strongly into the race to sign Luis Suarez, the Sporting Lisbon striker, as part of the club's plan to strengthen their offensive line before the start of the new season.

Reports stated that Al-Hilal's management has shown significant interest in the player following his impressive performance this season, as he has successfully established himself as one of the standout forwards in the Portuguese league.

On the other hand, Arsenal is leading the race to sign the player, as they are preparing a substantial offer that could reach $80 million to finalize the deal.

Coach Mikel Arteta believes that Suarez is an ideal option to strengthen the attack, and major clubs like Liverpool and Barcelona have also shown interest.

What makes Al Hilal's task of finalizing the deal more difficult is that the player joined Sporting from Almeria in a deal exceeding 22 million euros.

He delivered an exceptional season by scoring 24 goals and providing 5 assists in 27 matches, leading the top scorers' list and becoming a strong contender for the European Golden Shoe.
