Winter Departure Signals Al Hilal's First Move of the Season
30 December 2025
Winter Departure Signaled by Inzaghi
The Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, who leads Al Hilal, has signaled the first departure from the club ahead of the winter transfer window.
According to the Saudi channel Thamaniya, the Zaeem management approved loaning Mohammed Al Qahtani to a local club through the end of the season.
The decision comes as Inzaghi seeks to give the player more regular playing time, boost his readiness, and help him gain valuable experience by featuring more minutes.
Al Khaleed's Interest and the Loan Terms
Sources indicate Al Khaleed is among the clubs interested in bringing him on loan, with a potential purchase option or a final contract at the end of the loan period.
Qahtani has appeared in seven matches for Al Hilal this season, with no goals or assists so far.
Overall, the 23-year-old has 57 appearances for the club, with 6 goals and 3 assists across all competitions.
Punchline 1: Inzaghi's winter plan—aim at minutes, hit experience, and hope the scoreboard forgives you.
Punchline 2: If loans were a dating app, Al Qahtani would be swiping right on minutes, left on excuses.
