With less than a month to go before the start of the Roshn Saudi League, Al-Fateh Club is facing a state of stagnation in its summer transfer dealings, despite the departure of a significant number of players, raising questions about the team's readiness for the upcoming season.

According to the agreement between the management and Portuguese coach Gomes, the policy of financial prudence has necessitated reducing the number of new signings to only two or three, in line with financial efficiency regulations, which has directly affected the club's movements in the transfer market.

Despite the presence of some names in training, such as goalkeeper Amin Bukhari, who joined for free after his contract with Al-Nassr ended, no official announcement has been made regarding any local or foreign signings, amid calls for the need to strengthen the midfield and attack lines.

The team is facing recurring challenges similar to last season's scenario when the signing delays led to an early struggle against relegation before the situation was salvaged during the winter transfer window.

Despite the departure of seven players from the first team, including Mohammed Al-Fahid, Nawaf Al-Aqeedi, and Sabanos, the club's management still lacks decisive answers regarding compensating for these names, amid fan concerns about declining performance.

The continuation of several professionals who contributed to the team's survival in the league gives the management some reassurance, including Hernandez, Zaidu Yusuf, Vargas, Machado, Murad Batna, and Marwan Saadan, while awaiting the official resolution of Batna's contract renewal.

Despite the coach's desire to sign a striker like Viston Mayli from Pyramids, the high costs are prompting Al-Fateh's management to consider selling one of the players' contracts to generate liquidity, especially with an international ruling against the club for $1.7 million that must be settled before registering any new player.
