In a deal that shook the foundations of the summer transfer market, Brazilian winger Malcolm de Oliveira arrived in Saudi Arabia from Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg to sign with Al-Hilal on a four-year contract worth 60 million euros, making him one of the most expensive signings in Saudi football history.

Malcolm (26), who began his European journey with French club Bordeaux before moving to Barcelona in the summer of 2018 for 41 million euros, did not get sufficient opportunities with the Catalan team. The player himself expressed great happiness with the move to Al-Hilal, stating in press statements: “I am very excited to play in the Saudi league, and I promise the fans to give my best.”

Malcolm’s transfer comes within Al-Hilal’s strategy to strengthen their squad with distinguished players, especially after successfully signing global stars like Kalidou Koulibaly and Salem Al-Dawsari. Malcolm is expected to add a new attacking dimension to the team, benefiting from his exceptional speed and high individual skills.

It is worth noting that Malcolm has represented the Brazilian national team on several occasions and was part of the squad that won the gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He scored 29 goals and provided 22 assists in 96 matches with Zenit, confirming his ability to quickly adapt to any league.

Conclusion:
With Malcolm’s arrival, it appears that the Saudi league continues to attract global stars, increasing competition strength and placing Saudi football on the world map. Malcolm is expected to be a strong addition to Al-Hilal in their journey towards achieving local and continental titles.
