Al Hilal signed Yacine Bounou the summer before last, coming from the Spanish club Seville.

Al-Mufarrej said during the documentary about the season trilogy Al-Madi: “We were telling coach Jorge Jesus that we have two goalkeepers playing in the Saudi national team, but he told me (I need a goalkeeper who can score points for me).”

He continued: “I need a guard He gets me points when the team is bad. He used to tell me, “I want a goalkeeper to protect my net if the defenders are not positioned well.”

He continued: “At that time, I proposed the name Yassine Bounou to him, and he immediately agreed, and the reason for contracting with him was not only technical, but also communicational, as he is a goalkeeper who speaks the same language as the players, and the defenders need a goalkeeper who speaks their language.”

It is noteworthy that Yacine Bounou's contract with Al Hilal extends until the summer of 2026.
