Informed sources have reported that the management of the Youth Club is nearing an agreement with its counterpart at Al-Ettifaq regarding the contract of defender Hamdan Al-Shahrani during the ongoing summer transfers.

Although negotiations have made significant progress between the two parties, the entry of a newly promoted club to the Roshan League into the deal has halted its finalization for the time being.

The management of Al-Ettifaq has chosen to be patient before making a final decision regarding Al-Shahrani's future, preferring to evaluate the options available in light of the multiple offers the player has received recently.

Al-Shahrani, who is 28 years old, began his football career with Al-Ahli and has played for Al-Faisaly, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ettifaq, and his last stop was with Al-Khulood on loan.

During the past season, Al-Shahrani represented Al-Khulood on loan, participating in 28 matches in the Yelo League and King’s Cup, which caught the attention of several clubs seeking to sign him.
