Saudi Al Hilal is close to making a new decision in the summer transfer market, which could pave the way for one of the most anticipated deals: signing Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé, Paris Saint-Germain star.

Earlier, press reports revealed verbal contacts between Al Hilal and Paris Saint-Germain management to explore the possibility of signing Dembélé, but negotiations have not yet reached the official stage.

According to reliable journalist Sasha Tavolieri, Al Hilal's management has decided to put Brazilian Malcom up for sale during the current transfer window, after he was excluded from the plans of Italian head coach Simone Inzaghi.

He clarified that the Saudi club has already started looking for a new club for Malcom, as part of restructuring the team and making room for new faces ahead of next season.

This step indicates that Al Hilal is preparing to vacate a spot on the right wing, the position Ousmane Dembélé excels in, which strengthens speculation that the 'Zaeem' (The Leader) could move seriously to seal the deal in the coming period.

Inzaghi is looking for a winger with speed and the ability to make a difference in one-on-one situations, qualities that Dembélé possesses, who has been one of PSG's most prominent players in recent years. This could make Malcom's departure the first step on the road for the French international to join the Roshn Saudi League.
