The Saudi Al -Ittihad Club seeks to strengthen its ranks at the goalkeeper center during the summer Mercato 2025, to put the young goalkeeper Mohamed Al -Absi among his priorities, in a move aimed at supporting the team before the start of the new season.
Did Al -Absi approach?
The Saudi newspaper “Al -Riyadiah” revealed that the management of Al -Ittihad club put the name of Mohamed Al -Absi, the youth goalkeeper, at the top of the list of candidates to support the goalkeeper center, after taking a decision to exclude goalkeeper Mohamed Al -Mahasana from the external preparation camp currently in Spain, which enhances the possibility of his departure this summer.
Reasons for choosing Al -Absi
Al-Absi’s choice came as a result of his distinguished level during his participation with the youth team last season 2024-2025, where he played seven games and succeeded in maintaining the cleanliness of his net on more than one occasion, in the future of six goals only throughout the season, which drew the attention of the federation administration that wants to support the guard center with a young Saudi goalkeeper who is able to compete in the future with the Serbian goalkeeper Rikovic.
Federation alternatives
Despite the priority that Al -Absi enjoys, the federation is not satisfied with one option, as the administration has put several other names as possible alternatives in the event of negotiations with the youth club, especially since the deal is still in its preliminary stages, and official details have not been announced yet.
What is the importance of the deal?
The Union is preparing for a season full of challenges at the local and Asian levels, which makes it need to enhance options on all lines, especially the goalkeeper center, which has witnessed successive changes in recent years. The contract with Al -Absi may be a long -term investment, given his small age and advanced capabilities.
