The Saudi Pro giants have intensified their activity in the transfer market in recent days.
Al Hilal are reportedly close to signing Sevilla’s Yassine Bono despite interest from Bayern Munich.
Having reached a mega deal with Neymar, Al Hilal are now eager to bolster other positions in their squad. The Saudi Pro League club are heavily linked with a move for Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic. But it seems they might also sign a new goalkeeper this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern have already shelved their interest in the Morocco international. The Sky Sports journalist claims Al Hilal’s current offer to Bono is way higher than Bayern’s.
The German champions are dealing with a goalkeeping crisis as they struggle to find a replacement for Yann Sommer. Manuel Neuer’s long-term injury has forced Bayern to use Sven Ulreich as their No.1 keeper in recent weeks.
Sevilla’s €18m valuation of Bono has convinced Bayern to look for a new keeper. After failed bids to sign David Raya from Brentford and Kepa Aarizabala from Chelsea, the Bavarians might enter negotiations with David de Gea in the coming days.
After their shocking defeat against RB Leipzig in the German Supercup, Bayern will take on Werder Bremen in their first Bundesliga game of the season on Friday.
