In a new bid to strengthen their squad, Saudi club Al-Hilal have set their sights on two outstanding left-backs during the winter transfer window. With the intention of strengthening its defense, Al-Hilal has made contacts to bring in Lucas Digne, a France international who currently works for Aston Villa.
Lucas Digne, who has previous experience at Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, has sparked the Saudi club's interest in finding a left-back. Digne, 30, is known for his defensive skills and ability to contribute in attack. According to L'Equipe, the France international, who currently plays for Aston Villa, could be a valuable addition to Al-Hilal.
It's not the only option
In addition to Lucas Digne, the Saudi club has also made contact with Raphaël Guerreiro, who moved to FC Bayern Munich last summer. Despite his short time in the German team due to injury, Guerreiro has proven to be a talented and versatile left-back. Digne and Guerreiro have contracts until 2026 and could be attractive options for Al-Hilal.
A possible loan deal with an option to buy is being considered for both players, which would allow the Saudi club to immediately strengthen their squad and assess their performance before making a long-term commitment. While Neymar, who is currently injured, remains part of the team, Al-Hilal is looking to secure its defense and remain competitive in the transfer market with these strategic moves.
