Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Al Hilal and Inter over the transfer of Francesco Acerbi. The defender has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Al Hilal continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. With only 12 goals conceded in 11 (1.09 per game), Al Hilal have been one of the stronger defences in the Saudi Professional League this season.. Francesco Acerbi would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Reports suggest Inter are monitoring Branimir Mlacic, Joao Cancelo and Guglielmo Vicario whereas Al Hilal have not been associated with other players at this stage.
