Neymar is out with an ACL and Al Hilal despite not having their top star is in first place in the Saudi Pro League. The Boss, as Al Hilal is known as, are seven points clear of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr and winners of their last 5 games.

Still, Jorge Jesus and the brass at Al Hilal are not sleeping on having a season to remember and are looking at signing one of the top players in Major League Soccer according to Le10sport.

That player is LAFC’s Denis Bouanga, who in 2023 was the MLS regular season golden boot and is seen as Neymar’s natural fill-in player until the Brazilian star returns. Bouanga scored 20 goals for LAFC, who fell short of winning the MLS Cup in 2023.
