Al Hilal have wrapped up the signing of Mathieu Patouillet, who joins from Lyon. The goalkeeper's move has been made official after successful negotiations, a passed medical, and contract signing. The confirmation has been welcomed by fans, who've waited eagerly for this long-anticipated deal to go through. Al Hilal faced no rival bids for the player, enabling them to negotiate directly and wrap up the deal efficiently. Across the season 25/26, Al Hilal have let in 6 goals in 4 (1.5 per game), about average in the Saudi Professional League. Mathieu Patouillet would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Lyon have also been linked with Nico O Reilly, Kalvin Phillips and Fabio Carvalho while Al Hilal are reportedly monitoring Yusuf Akcicek, Pietro Comuzzo and Bruno Fernandes.
