Al-Hilal announced the departure of a new player from its ranks during the upcoming summer transfer window, making him the seventh victim in this mercato.

Al-Hilal issued a statement on its official website, announcing its approval of the transfer of its player Abdulkarim Darisi to Abha on loan until the end of next season.

Darisi's departure came one season after he was signed during the last summer transfer window, on a free transfer, after his contract with his former club Al-Ahli ended at the end of the season before last.

Darisi became the seventh player Al-Hilal has let go in the new season, either due to contract endings or departures to other clubs.

Italian coach Simone Inzaghi had excluded goalkeeper Ahmed Abu Rasen, defender Ali Al-Bulaihi, and striker Abdullah Radif from the team's camp in Austria.

Meanwhile, Spanish defender Pablo Mari left after his contract ended, and Mohammed Al-Qahtani moved to Al-Qadsiah, in addition to Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo who transferred to Ajax Amsterdam.

It is worth noting that Darisi played 28 matches with Al-Hilal last season, totaling 510 minutes, during which he failed to score or assist any goals.
