Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly could experience a turning point in his career at Al-Hilal. According to the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadhthe Saudi club plans to reorganize its squad to make room for Neymar, recently recovered from injury and whose integration into the group seems imminent.
Since arriving at Al-Hilal in 2023 from Chelsea, the Senegalese defender has established himself as an important part of the team, playing a major role in winning the Saudi Pro League championship title. Unfortunately, recent months have been marked by a decline in form, which seems to weigh on the club’s decisions. To make room for Neymar, Al-Hilal could choose to terminate Kalidou Koulibaly’s contract, which runs until 2026, or loan him to another club in the Saudi Pro League during the winter transfer window. Such a decision casts doubt on the future of the captain of the Senegalese team, once considered one of the best defenders in the world.
This situation contrasts with the prospects of Neymar, who seems on the verge of extending his contract until 2025. Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly faces growing uncertainty. The outcome of this situation should be decided in January, an important moment for the future of the 33-year-old Senegalese defender.
