Brazilian Nini Zini, agent of English Bournemouth player Ryan Vitor, confirmed that the player is not considering leaving European pitches.
Zini said in statements to the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiya: "Ryan Vitor is staying in Europe and will not leave this summer."
Brazilian network Globo revealed Al-Hilal's efforts to sign the 19-year-old player as a replacement for his compatriot Malcolm Felipe, who is close to leaving the team during the summer transfer window.
The network confirmed that the coming days may see the start of official contacts between Al-Hilal and Bournemouth to discuss the possibility of completing the deal and reaching an agreement on the player's transfer.
Ryan has worn Bournemouth's jersey in 15 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists. He was included in his country's national team squad for the 2026 World Cup finals, playing against Haiti, Scotland, Japan, and Norway for a total of 289 minutes, without scoring and with one assist.
Ryan joined his team's training camp after completing the vacation granted to players following their exit against Norway in the round of 16 of the World Cup, and he participated in the friendly match against German side Augsburg last Thursday.
