His new team is now able to return to the path of titles in the Arabian League 

The participant in the last Club World Cup and third in the last league in Saudi Arabia announced last week their new signing coming directly from the Premier League to add depth to the squad and be ready to fight against for the Saudi League title with the most powerful clubs in the country, with a wave of new stars arriving to the league. 

We talk about Al Hilal and his new player, the 32-year-old player Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been the last player in falling in the Saudi temptation and arrives to the Saudi Championship after a bad period at Chelsea, to which he barely adapted and had a very little contribution, less than expected after having cost the Stamford Bridge club €40 million to take him from Napoli to London


Koulibaly has been sold by Chelsea after Al Hilal paid a transfer fee of almost €24 million, according to British media. The Franco-Senegalese defender will wear the number 3 shirt with the Saudi club Al Hilal for next season and he will strengthen the team led by the Argentinian coach Ramon Diaz, who a few days ago also announced the signing of Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton.

This will be his first goal in the Saudi championship

Koulibaly arrives to Al Hilal with a big goal to achieve, helping the team to return to lead the Saudi Championship and coming back to the path of titles, for which its great rivals are Al Ittihad, the last champion, which has strengthened with the French striker Karim Benzema and the ex Chelsea player N’Golo Kante and with Al Nassr, who had already signed the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
