Saudi Arabian champions Al Hilal are set to hijack Brazilian forward Marcos Da Silva ‘Keno’s proposed move to rivals Ittihad.
Al Hilal president Mohamed Bin Faisal dropped a bombshell in early hours on Monday after a cryptic tweet made about the Pyramids FC star.
“Keno, Keno, you’re close, Keno,” the tweet read.
كينو يا كينو قربت ياكينو

Pyramids FC have enjoyed a turbulent spell over the past two weeks ever since Al Ahly fans aimed insults at the club’s former honorary president and now Pyramids owner and Saudi Arabia Minister of Sport Turki Al Sheikh.

Following the incident, Al Sheikh decided to withdraw investments in Egypt, while promising that Pyramids’ star players’ future will be well taken care of and provided with suitable club contracts, and with Keno having a huge impact on the Egyptian Premier Leauge since his arrival, his name was always mentioned as the first player to depart the club, if a selling spree is to begin next January.
The player is rumored to be close to a 350 million Egyptian Pound move to China.
The former Palmeiras forward has recorded seven goals and two assists in 10 games in all competitions since his arrival in Egypt this season.
