Al-Nasr Player Requests to Leave the Team at the End of the Season
Informed reports indicate that Abdul Rahman Ghareeb, the winger of Al-Nasr, has informed the management of his intention to leave at the end of the current season in search of greater playing opportunities. Despite participating in 29 matches this season, his actual minute rate has not exceeded 41% of the total minutes of those matches.
Out of a possible 2610 minutes of play in 29 matches, Ghareeb has only played 1069 minutes, without scoring any goals, managing only three assists. The player believes that these numbers do not align with his ambitions and seeks to embark on a new experience that would give him the chance to showcase himself better.
Ghareeb signed with Al-Nasr in the summer of 2022, coming from Al-Ahli on a four-year contract for 25 million riyals to his former club, with an annual salary of 9 million riyals. He cannot transfer to any club without Al-Nasr's approval, unless he enters the free period at the beginning of next year. Although he has played matches in various competitions, the player feels that the coach's tactical choices have not favored him, which has limited his presence on the field. He hopes to find an environment that gives him enough space to regain his previous brilliance.
It is not expected that Al-Nasr's management will easily agree to the departure of a player of Ghareeb's caliber, especially since his contract is still valid until the summer of 2026. However, with the player's explicit desire, negotiations may open the door for a loan or sale of the contract to another club. Several Saudi and other Gulf clubs may express interest in the player's services, especially given his experience in the local league and his ability to contribute if he receives sufficient trust.
Ghareeb's departure - if it happens - may create a void in the left winger position, putting the management in a challenge to strengthen the ranks with a replacement capable of filling the gap. Among supporters of the player's decision, sympathizers with his desire to play, and opponents who see it as a departure at a sensitive time, the public reaction regarding Ghareeb's future with 'Al-Nasr' varies.
So far, the Al-Nasr management has not issued any official statement regarding Ghareeb's request, but indications confirm that the matter is on the discussion table in summer meetings. The coming days may witness a resolution regarding the player's fate, especially with the approaching transfer period and clubs starting to map out the new season.
