Inzaghi’s Winter Wake-Up Call: Al Hilal Eyes a Three-Player Outgoing Shuffle
23 December 2025
Winter reshuffle at Al Hilal
Reports this Tuesday indicate that Simone Inzaghi, head coach of Al Hilal, wants to offload three stars from the squad during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Potential departures and strategy
Hilal is seeking new signings in January to strengthen multiple positions.
Sources say the coach appears fixed on releasing French goalkeeper Mathéo Batouye, a young talent in winter mercato.
Also on the list is Abdul Karim Drisi, with a loan move considered because he has not featured regularly.
Despite injuries to Uruguayan Darwin Nunez and rumors of his exit, Inzaghi would prefer to keep him while Kaio Cesar leaves.
January promises drama, dry humor included: even a goalkeeper could become a feature-length bailout too.
