Mohammed Noor urges Al-Hilal to let Malcom join Al-Ittihad | OneFootball

According to Goal.com, Mohammed Noor has urged rivals Al-Hilal to let Malcom Oliveira join Al-Ittihad if he is not in their plans, noting the two clubs are under the same fund. The Brazilian is said to be close to leaving before the summer window shuts, although his destination remains unclear.

Malcom scored in Al-Hilal’s 4-2 win over Al-Faisaly on Friday in the opening round of the Roshn Saudi Pro League.

After the match he pushed back on questions about his future, stressing he represents Al-Hilal and that the post-match setting was for discussing the game, not transfers.

Noor also believes Simone Inzaghi, Al-Hilal’s coach, would suit Al-Ittihad stylistically. He added he had heard Al-Ittihad would have moved for Inzaghi if he had left Al-Hilal this summer.

Inzaghi’s position has been the subject of media speculation, but Al-Hilal’s management has renewed its confidence in the Italian, so he will begin the season in charge. Al-Ittihad, meanwhile, have signed the German Jens Wiessing, who is set to start his stint in the Roshn Saudi Pro League tonight, Saturday, against Al-Khaleej.
