The newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat" revealed serious interest from the Portuguese club Alverca, owned by Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, in signing young Union star Farhat Al-Shamrani.

This interest comes as part of the Portuguese club's plan, which has recently been promoted to the first division, to strengthen its squad with young talents possessing distinctive technical and physical abilities that qualify them to make a difference.

According to the source, Alverca's scouting department has been closely monitoring Al-Shamrani's performance recently, especially in his appearances in the Saudi Pro League with the Union club.

The club's technical management has also expressed great admiration for his talent, particularly after his remarkable performance with the Saudi youth national team and his effective contribution to qualifying for the Under-20 World Cup.

The global tournament is set to take place in Chile next September, where many are counting on Al-Shamrani to prove his abilities in front of major European clubs.
