Kalidou Koulibaly, a former Napoli star, has discussed his decision to sign with a Saudi Pro League team.
The Senegalese claimed that as a Muslim, he has arrived in the best country while stressing the significance of his high-profile move to Al-Hilal.
Koulibaly spent just one season with the Blues before departing for the Saudi Arabian club for €23 million.
According to football trade specialist Fabrizio Romano, he has signed a three-year deal with Al-Hilal worth €25 million per season.
Speaking in an interview with Corriere dello Sport, Koulibaly said, “I chose the best team in the Arab league. I’m happy because as a Muslim I arrive in the right country.
“And I’m thrilled to be one of the first to land in an evolving championship. I hope to help Saudi Arabia and Al-Hilal to write a new sporting history,” Koulibaly said.
“In addition, this very important contract. I will be able to help my whole family to live well: from my parents to my cousins, and above all to support the social activities of my association ‘Capitane du Coeur ‘ in Senegal,” he added.
