Former Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly revealed how Daniele De Rossi had approached him to inquire about Saud Abdulhamid.

Before bringing Saud Abdulhamid to Roma, Daniele De Rossi sought in-depth information on the Arab winger, a name little known in European football.

Among his various consultations, De Rossi contacted Kalidou Koulibaly of Al-Hilal, who had the opportunity to play with Abdulhamid.

In an interview Koulibaly said: “When I heard about his transfer to Roma, it seemed normal to me. De Rossi called me to ask my opinion on Saud, and I gave him only positive feedback.”

“He is a strong player, both individually and tactically, and has shown great growth in recent seasons.”
