The trajectory of Yassine Bounou takes a new turn: the 34-year-old Moroccan goalkeeper has renewed with Al Hilal until 2028, leaving behind the hopes that Sevilla had of his return.

Bounou strengthens his legacy in Saudi Arabia

Since joining Al Hilal in 2023, Bounou has had a brilliant spell in the Saudi league. Originally signed on until 2026, his contract has been extended by two more seasons by the Riyadh club.

As reported by the newspaper AS, the improved contract is substantial: his net pay, around five million euros, has been notably increased to retain him and shut the door on any repatriation attempts.

During his time in Arab football, Bounou has established himself as a key figure in both domestic and international competitions. In the previous Club World Cup held in the United States, he once again showcased his goalkeeping quality with decisive performances, notably in the match against Manchester City, where he became a cornerstone of the team.

His consistency, leadership, and ability to perform under maximum pressure have kept him among the world's best goalkeepers, proving that despite his age, his competitive level remains intact.

Sevilla left disappointed again: the return is no longer an option

There was a silent hope within Sevilla FC of bringing Bounou back once his contract in Saudi Arabia expired. Some members of the club's sports management even considered reestablishing contact with the goalkeeper's representatives in the medium term.

Nevertheless, the extension until 2028 has dealt a harsh blow to the Seville club. The dream of seeing the Moroccan back defending the Sánchez-Pizjuán goal fades definitively.

Currently, there is satisfaction in Nervión with the performance of Odysseas Vlachodimos, the Greek goalkeeper on loan from Newcastle, who has restored security to the Seville goal. His situation resembles that of Bounou, who also arrived on loan—from Girona at that time—before being acquired by Monchi after proving his worth.

However, the Andalusian club is aware that the loan of the Greek keeper does not include a purchase option, so they are already considering negotiating his transfer next summer to prevent another void in goal.

Bounou, torn between ambition and affection

This decision by Bounou reflects the maturity of a player who prioritizes stability and sporting ambition within a solid project. In Saudi Arabia, he has found not only an economically appealing contract but also a competitive structure that keeps him in the international elite.

Nevertheless, his emotional bond with Sevilla remains. On several occasions, the Moroccan has publicly expressed his affection for the city, the club, and the fans who witnessed his football development.

His spell at the Seville club, from 2019 to 2023, left an indelible mark: titles, historic saves, and a special connection with the Sevillista fans. However, the realities of modern football have their own logic, and his immediate future will continue to be tinged with blue.

With this renewal, Yassine Bounou cements his status as one of the prominent figures in Arab football, ensuring his presence at Al Hilal until 2028 and definitively closing the door to any potential return to Sevilla FC.
