Ali Al-Bulaihi and Al-Hilal
31 August 2026
Al-Hilal have officially ended Ali Al-Bulaihi’s nine-year spell after reaching a contractual settlement with the defender despite one season remaining on his deal. The former Saudi international leaves after 263 appearances and 14 trophies with the club.
Al-Bulaihi had fallen out of Simone Inzaghi’s plans, spent the second half of last season on loan at Al-Shabab and was excluded from Al-Hilal’s preseason camp. He had recently trained individually before the settlement formally ended his contract.
