Al-Hilal ‘to end’ Bono contract by mutual consent after talks | OneFootball

Le Site Info Sport reports that Al-Hilal and Yassine Bounou are in advanced talks to end his contract by mutual consent, intensifying speculation over the goalkeeper's future.

Bounou has spent three seasons with Al-Hilal, and despite a contract running to June 2028, an amicable split is being explored.

Doubts grew once the window opened, with Al-Hilal signing Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais, widely viewed as a sign of change in that position.

There were also leaks suggesting Bounou would not be registered on the domestic list next season, potentially freeing a foreign slot and limiting him to AFC Champions League Elite outings.

Further reports said Al-Hilal had opened talks with Neom's Polish goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, a 26-year-old from Chelsea's academy, reinforcing the sense that his time at the club could be drawing to a close.

At 35, Bounou is attracting interest, with several offers, notably from five clubs across the French, Spanish and English leagues, plus two from the American league.

The Saudi Pro League is expected to kick off on 13 August and the window runs until 6 September, giving all sides time to settle his future.
