Al-Zaim is changing its course in the transfer window
The Barcelona star has left Al Hilal in the current summer transfer window thanks to the imminent arrival of Dutch winger Crescencio Summerville from West Ham United.
Media reports have confirmed that Al Hilal were close to signing Summerville. Mercato for €80 million this summer, making him the second most expensive player in the history of the Saudi league.
He said Catalan “Sport”. Al Hilal’s signing of Summerville has put an end to the possibility of Barcelona’s Brazilian winger Rafinha being included in the current summer transfer window.
The reporter explained that Al Hilal entered the transfer season under Rafinha because they invested a huge amount of money to sign him, whether to buy him from Barcelona or because of the salary he would receive.
However, the Brazilian winger’s continued insistence on staying at Barcelona under German coach Hans Flick has led the Saudi club to consider signing a new winger instead, and the choice fell on Summerville.
Thus, it was confirmed that Rafinha will stay with Barcelona for at least the next season, thus closing one of the most complicated affairs of the last period of the Catalan club.
Notably, Rafinha has performed at very strong levels in the last two seasons with Barcelona, and he was even one of the most popular candidates to win the Ballon d’Or in 2025, ahead of France’s Ousmane Dembele, the Paris Saint-Germain winger.
