Al-Hilal have confirmed the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea in a €25 million (£21.
5m/$27.3m) deal.
Koulibaly had long been expected to depart Stamford Bridge and his exit was finally confirmed on Sunday evening. He only joined the Blues last summer and made just 23 appearances during the 2022-23 season.
Koulibaly will not be the last Chelsea player to end up in Saudi Arabia this summer. N'Golo Kante is already on his way to champions Al-Ittihad, while Hakim Ziyech will team up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr and Edouard Mendy is set to join Al-Ahly.
Koulibaly will link up with ex-Wolves star Ruben Neves at Al-Hilal and look to challenge the likes of Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title next season.
