King’s Possible Move to Al Hilal Opens a New Transfer Saga in the Saudi Pro League

Background

Gulf club Al-Khaleej has opened the door to selling Norwegian striker Joshua King to Al Hilal during the current winter window.

Reports say Hilal is pursuing King under coach Simone Inzaghi’s plan to add a new striker.

Mohammed Al-Kahl, the football director at Al-Khaleej, told Eight TV that nothing has happened yet, but the club is working for the team’s best interests.

He added: If King’s departure benefits the team, the club’s management and sporting director will not hesitate, but for now the player remains and gives his best.

There has been contact from Hilal with sporting director Sadiq Al-Huwaidi, with some figures presented and subsequently rejected by the club; if terms suit both sides, the move could happen.

Ultimately, the market is supply and demand; if the club’s interests require that the player leaves and boosts finances, they won't object.

Stance and Negotiations

The negotiations are being handled quietly, with Hilal expressing ongoing interest and Al-Khaleej evaluating the best path for the team’s success.

According to the article, there were discussions with Hilal's sporting director, and the club has already replied to proposed figures, indicating that terms must please both sides for a move to occur.

King remains with the squad for now, continuing to give his best as the winter window progresses.

Punchline 1: If this transfer hits the target, King will be shooting on target—quiet, precise, and instantly headline-worthy.

Punchline 2: And if it misses, fear not—the rumor mill will keep firing faster than a goalkeeper’s stare, and the score won’t change.
