Al-Diriyah ‘to take’ Malcom on loan as Al-Hilal await player approval | OneFootball

Al-Diriyah have entered the chase for Al-Hilal winger Malcom, with the newly promoted Roshn League side exploring a move this summer.

According to Goal.com, Al-Diriyah have offered to take the Brazilian on loan until the end of next season, with Al-Hilal open to a departure and the player yet to approve the switch.

Teams in Qatar, the UAE and Brazil have also been linked in recent weeks, and Al-Hilal are looking to move him on before the new campaign begins.

A surplus of foreign players has increased the need to trim the squad, heightened by the arrival of Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United.

Malcom joined from Zenit in 2023 and impressed in his first year, when the club went unbeaten to the league title.

Across three years he has won one Saudi league title, two King's Cups and two Saudi Super Cups.
