Al-Hilal have signed Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou from Spanish side Sevilla on a three-year contract, the Saudi Pro League club said on Thursday.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed but Spanish media reported Al-Hilal will pay 21 million euros ($22.8 million).
Bounou, 32, was Sevilla’s first-choice goalkeeper, helping the Spanish team to win two Europa League titles and Morocco to reach last year’s World Cup semifinals in Qatar.
