Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal is looking to strengthen their defense by targeting Manchester City defenders Kyle Walker and João Cancelo, as well as Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong. Their initial interest in Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold was met with disinterest from the full-back. Al-Hilal is particularly focusing on right-back options to replace Saud Abdulhamid, who has garnered attention from Reims and Roma.

While Walker has previously attracted interest from Bayern Munich and recently signed a contract extension until 2026 with City, the club has shown no intention of parting ways with the English international. Meanwhile, Cancelo, who was omitted from City's squad during a recent match, could see a potential move away from the club benefiting all parties involved.

In another transfer news, Feyenoord rejected an opening €25m bid from Nottingham Forest for Santiago Giménez, with the Dutch club seeking over €30m to consider a sale of the prolific Mexican striker. Giménez has recorded an impressive 40 goals in 64 Eredivisie outings.

Social media comments reacted with humor and skepticism to the potential moves. Fans speculated on Walker's possible motivations for a move to Saudi Arabia, referencing the cultural differences and legal aspects of the region. Additionally, discussions around the viability of the Saudi league and comparisons to other failed attempts at building successful leagues added complexity to the narrative.

Despite the banter, a dedicated City fan voiced disappointment at the lack of respect directed towards Walker, highlighting his contributions to the club throughout his career. As transfer rumors swirl, the football world remains intrigued by the potential moves and the implications they could have on the players and the clubs involved.

The football community eagerly anticipates further developments as the transfer window progresses, awaiting official announcements regarding the speculated transfers.
