Recent reports have increased regarding Al-Ittihad Club's efforts to sign goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais, given the team's need for a ready goalkeeper following Raikovic's injury and subsequent lengthy surgery.

The sports director of Al-Ittihad, Ramon Planes, has shown interest in acquiring Al-Owais, considering him the most suitable candidate for the role of second goalkeeper due to his experience and technical level that qualifies him to serve the team quickly.

In an unexpected surprise, journalist Khudair Al-Buraq revealed that Al-Owais has reached an official agreement with one of the Yelo League clubs, in preparation for his transfer during the upcoming summer transfer window.

So far, the identity of the team that successfully secured the international goalkeeper's services is unclear, which has increased the questions from Al-Ittihad fans who were hoping to sign him to strengthen the goalkeeping position.

With Al-Owais's departure to the Yelo League, Al-Ittihad lost the opportunity to contract with a goalkeeper who has extensive experience in Saudi stadiums, which would have been a strong addition in light of Raikovic's injury.
