Malcom ‘to join’ Al-Diriyah as Al-Hilal exit nears | OneFootball

Brazilian winger Malcom de Oliveira looks set to leave Al-Hilal for Al-Diriyah in the coming hours, one of the summer window's biggest surprises.

Asharq Al-Awsat reports he is preparing to undergo medical tests after a final agreement, with a contract set to run for the next three seasons.

He signed off with a goal against Al-Faisaly in the first round of the Saudi Roshn Pro League, his last goalscoring outing in Al-Hilal colours.

After that match, he rejected a question about a possible exit, saying, "Are you crazy? I have an extended contract with the club, and please stop spreading rumours."

Across domestic and continental competitions, he played 139 matches for Al-Hilal, scoring 47 goals and supplying 41 assists.

His departure may sting, given his rise as a key attacker and role in recent trophies. For newly promoted Al-Diriyah, it could be a standout capture, pending official confirmation in the days ahead.
