Young player Murad Hawsawi , who recently joined the first football team of Al-Hilal Club, expressed his great happiness and pride in wearing the “Al-Zaeem” jersey, after completing his transfer procedures officially during the winter transfer period, coming from Al-Khaleej Club to strengthen the midfield of the blue team.
Murad Hawsawi's first statement after signing
In his first reaction after the official announcement of the deal, Hawsawi took to social media to share his feelings with Al-Hilal fans. On his official Instagram account, he wrote a heartfelt message saying, "I am proud to represent Al-Hilal, and I ask God for success in this new chapter.".
Hawsawi did not stop there, but also made sure to thank those who contributed to completing this qualitative leap in his career, adding: “All thanks to the management of Al-Hilal Club, His Highness Prince Nawaf bin Saad, the club’s president, and my agent, Dr. Saleh Al-Yami, for their trust and support.”.
The importance of the transfer and Al-Hilal's standing locally and continentally
A move to Al-Hilal is a major turning point in any local player's professional career, given the prestigious status of the Riyadh-based club. Al-Hilal is not just a sports club; it's a long-established institution with a rich history of achievements and championships at both the local and Asian levels. Joining the "Leader" puts a player under intense media and fan scrutiny, requiring him to deliver high-level performances that meet the expectations of the blue-clad supporters, who accept nothing less than gold.
This deal comes as part of the club's strategy to strengthen the squad with young, talented players capable of serving the club for years to come. Al-Hilal's management, under its successive presidents, has consistently sought to attract the top stars of the Saudi league to ensure continued dominance in championships and strong competition in all tournaments.
Timing implications and administrative support
The completion of the signing during the winter transfer window reflects the desire of the technical and administrative staff to address weaknesses and provide strong alternatives in midfield, especially given the pressure of matches and numerous competitions. Furthermore, the player's expression of gratitude to Prince Nawaf bin Saad highlights the vital role the administration played during that period in providing a stable and attractive environment for star players—an administrative approach that Al-Hilal has been known for over the decades, making it the preferred destination for most Saudi players.
Al-Hilal fans expect Murad Hawsawi to translate this confidence into a strong performance on the pitch, and to contribute with his teammates to continuing the journey of winning titles and making the large fan base happy.
