According to Goal.com, Al-Hilal face several key decisions before the new season begins, with potential squad adjustments set to shape the team's trajectory.
Beyond new signings, the futures of several core players will become clearer in the coming weeks, with their stays or departures potentially reshaping the squad.
Moroccan goalkeeper Bounou has been a cornerstone for Al-Hilal in recent years, but reported interest from overseas clubs has forced the management to make a decision. The club is considering removing him from the domestic roster while retaining his registration for the AFC Champions League, or selling him outright to free up a foreign player spot.
Right-back remains Al-Hilal's most pressing concern, with Portuguese defender Cancelo reportedly close to departing. Management has yet to initiate talks over a replacement, raising questions about its preparedness. The position is critical to Inzaghi's tactics, given his reliance on full-backs to support attacking play. Without a prompt resolution, the Italian coach risks a tactical crisis at the start of the season, with only Hamad Al-Yami available as an alternative right-back.
French striker Benzema's future at Al-Hilal also remains unresolved, with speculation growing over the potential arrival of a new striker. Management is weighing multiple options: demoting Benzema to the AFC Champions League roster or terminating his contract once a world-class replacement is secured. Despite his extensive experience, Benzema's future ultimately depends on Inzaghi's assessment and the club's strategic direction.

So, you now consider them as heavy loads? After using them, now you want to offload them as a log of wood.
