Bounou, 32, was Sevilla’s first-choice goalkeeper, helping the Spanish team win two Europa League titles and Morocco to reach last year’s World Cup semifinals in Qatar.
Bounou, commonly known as Bono, was reportedly a target for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as a temporary stand-in for the injured Thibaut Courtois and Manuel Neuer.
The most successful club in Saudi Arabia and Asia, Al-Hilal have won 66 trophies including 18 domestic league titles and four Asian Champions League crowns.
