Tocantinense Resumen

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window once again proved to be exceptionally busy, with some huge names making big-money moves all the way up to Deadline Day on September 1.

England forward Ollie Watkins announced his arrival in the Saudi Pro League in style, coming off the bench to score on his debut in Al-Hilal's convincing 3-0 triumph over Al-Ahli. The £51 million summer signing from Aston Villa sealed all three points with a late header, maintaining the league leaders' perfect start to the domestic campaign.

Darwin Nunez has finally broken his silence on a turbulent period in Saudi Arabia, describing his final months at Al-Hilal as a situation he wouldn't wish on any fellow professional. The Uruguayan striker looks to have turned a corner after securing a temporary move away from the Riyadh giants to find regular first-team football.

Karim Benzema’s adventure in the Saudi Pro League has come to an abrupt and unexpected end, with Al-Hilal confirming the termination of his contract by mutual consent on Monday. The former Real Madrid icon and 2022 Ballon d’Or winner leaves the Riyadh giants after just six months, casting serious doubt over whether he will continue his professional playing career.
