Three clubs, out of 18 Saudi professional Roshen Leagues, entered the transfer market early, having rushed to sign nine players before the “Mercato” summer kickoff.
al-itthad of jeddah Club led the early race with four deals, consisting of the trio of the agreement team of Hamid Al Ghamdi, Ahmed Al Ghamdi and Saad Al Moussa, as well as Hamid Al Shanqiti, the goalkeeper, coming from Al Shabaab club.
The Qadisiyah Club strengthened its first football team with two players, one foreigner, Uruguayan Nahitan Nandez, coming from Cagliari, Italy, and Saudi Arabia’s Hussein Al Qahtani on a free transfer after the end of al-shabab team contract.
The situation in the cooperation did not differ, as it also included two players, Sultan Mandash, coming from Fayha, and Mohamed El Quikbi, who wore a diabetes shirt last season on loan from the al-taawoun football team, before Al Qusaimi decided to sign him once and for all.
The summer transfer window begins on July 18 and runs until September 2, according to registration periods approved by the Professional Committee and the conditions of players in the Saudi Football Federation.
Increasing the number of foreign players from 8 to 10 is a challenge for Saudi clubs in the new season of saudi roshen league, with the players’ list reduced to 25.
Two of the 10 professionals are required to be born in 2003 or more; to ensure future investment in them.
