Keep the Jewel: Inzaghi’s Stand to Keep Abdullah Radeef at Al Hilal

Rising Star in Al Hilal's Plans

The Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, head coach of Al Hilal, remains determined to keep the young talent Abdullah Radeef in the squad for the coming period.

According to the Saudi newspaper Al Yaum, Inzaghi voiced a strong desire to keep Radeef with Al Hilal after the impressive display he has shown in training and in recent matches.

The newspaper added that Inzaghi sees Radeef as a player with strong technical abilities and promising attacking potential, making him a key piece to bolster the club's forward line in the seasons ahead.

Inzaghi hopes Radeef will help the Blue Wave compete vigorously for the Roshen Saudi League title, providing the team with additional attacking options especially in domestic and continental competitions.

Radeef reportedly rejected the offer from Al Hilal to extend his contract until 2029, citing his lack of a regular starting role amid a crowded forward department, having featured only four times this season.

The 22-year-old forward had previously impressed with Al Ettifaq during last season on loan, appearing in 29 matches, scoring three goals and making one assist.

Radeef's name had also been linked with a move to Angers in France during the last summer transfer window, for a one-season loan with an option to buy, but the proposal was rejected by Al Hilal.

Punchline: If talent were a currency, Radeef would be minting goals left and right without breaking a sweat.

Punchline: Inzaghi’s plan is so sharp that even the ball looks surprised every time it goes into the net.
