The French striker told reporters after a recent match:
“I’m gonna stay at Al Hilal.”
In recent weeks, reports had linked him with a possible exit, citing adaptation difficulties under head coach Simone Inzaghi and interest from clubs in Europe, Turkey and Major League Soccer. The 38-year-old’s contract with the Saudi Pro League side runs until June 2027.
