According to the Spanish press, Al Ahli could return to action in January

Khaled Al-Issa, chairman of the board of directors of Al Ahli, confirmed this Thursday that the Saudi club tried to sign Vinícius Júnior in the summer market.

“We wanted to bring in a great winger, Vinicius , but during the negotiations something unexpected happened, that the Saudi players were going to become professionals according to the scholarship program. Feras Al-Buraikan was going to become a professional and the priority became the signing of a forward and we negotiated with Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen “, he revealed, in an interview with Koora Rotana.

“In January we will sign a winger who will exceed expectations,” he added.

According to Marca , Al Ahli are considering returning to action in January and could benefit from the fact that the Spanish Super Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia.
