Al Hilal Club continues its strong moves in the summer transfer market, in an attempt to strengthen its attacking line with international names capable of raising the team's level in local and continental competitions.

According to press reports citing journalist Nicolo Schira, Al Hilal has identified Brazilian Raphinha, Barcelona's winger, and Portuguese Rafael Leão, AC Milan's star, as key targets in the transfer market.

Sources revealed that Al Hilal's management has made substantial and enticing financial offers to persuade the duo to embark on a new experience in the Saudi league in the upcoming period.

Despite the financial temptations, reports indicated that Raphinha and Leão initially rejected the idea of a transfer, preferring to continue competing within major European clubs.

This stance reflects the players' desire to continue their journey in the European leagues, which represent a priority for them at this stage of their professional careers.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal continues to explore alternative options in the transfer market, in anticipation of strengthening the front line with new attacking elements before the season begins.

The club's management is aiming to finalize several strong deals during the summer as part of a technical project aimed at maintaining competitiveness in all championships.

The contract file remains open within Al-Hilal, awaiting the outcomes of the management's moves in the coming weeks to reshape the team's offensive strength.
