Al-Hilal made an inquiry about 20-year-old Belgian attacker Mario Stroeykens, and Anderlecht was reportedly eager to secure a transfer fee from the Saudi club. However, Stroeykens was not interested in a move to Saudi Arabia, which led to Al-Hilal not submitting an official bid for the player. The player's contract with Anderlecht runs until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m. Several other clubs, including West Ham United, Olympique Marseille, and Milan, have also been linked with the attacker.
