Al Hilal Returns to the Picture in Acerbi Deal

Thursday 28-05-2026
Italian press reports have clarified the future of veteran defender Francesco Acerbi, as he is close to embarking on a new experience outside the Italian league during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Italian journalist Simone Tunga confirmed that Acerbi has decided to leave Inter Milan at the end of the current season, amid anticipation regarding his future in the coming weeks.

The name of Inter Milan's defender has been linked with a move to Al Hilal, amid the Saudi management's interest in strengthening the defense line with players who have significant experience at the European and continental levels.

Al Hilal's interest in the player comes at the request of Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, who had previously called for signing Acerbi last season before the club decided to sign Spaniard Pablo Mari.

Al Hilal's management continues to move aggressively in the summer transfer market, aiming to prepare the team in the best possible way to compete in all local and continental tournaments in the upcoming season.

Acerbi is considered one of the most experienced defenders in Italian football, having had a distinguished career with several clubs and achieved numerous successes, making him an important option to bolster Al Hilal's defense.

The Al-Hilal management is striving to enhance the quality of the squad with players capable of making a difference, especially after losing the Saudi Roshan League title last season, and with the desire to quickly return to the podiums of victory.
