Announced a few days ago, it’s now official. Yassine Bounou is an Al Hilal player. The Moroccan goalkeeper signed up with the Saudi club for three seasons from Sevilla FC. The formalization was made this Thursday by the Riyadh-based team in a press release on its social networks. The cost of the transaction is estimated at 21 million euros and the brand new player of Al Hilal will receive an annual salary of 15 million.

Bounou thus joins the club which has just recruited Neymar Jr, former striker of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, the former Bordeaux Malcom, the Senegalese Koulibaly, or even Milinkovic-Savic and Ruben Neves. Under his new colors, the player trained at Wydad Casablanca will wear number 37.
