Al-Ahli club has submitted an official offer to Al-Ittifaq management to acquire the services of left-back Mishaal Al-Alaili, a star of the Saudi U-23 national team, during the ongoing summer transfer window.

Al-Ittifaq management rejected the submitted offer, demanding an amount no less than 50 million riyals to relinquish the player, according to exclusive sources, confirming that the amount is non-negotiable and in cash only.

Sources clarified that Al-Ahli intends to present a new offer that includes a financial amount alongside the transfer of three local players to Al-Ittifaq: Samhan Al-Nabit, Fahd Al-Rasheedi, and Abdullah Al-Amar.

At the same time, Al-Nassr club inquired about Al-Alaili's situation and expressed interest in signing him, without submitting an official offer up to the moment of preparing this report, which paves the way for the possibility of entering direct competition.

Al-Alaili shone with the Saudi U-23 national team in the Toulon Tournament in France, where he scored two goals in four matches and achieved a high average rating of 7.4, increasing his market value.

At the club level, the player participated last season with Al-Wahda on loan, playing 20 matches in which he scored one goal and assisted another, with an average rating of 6.5, making him a target for the top clubs in the league.

Al-Ittifaq is trying to leverage the increasing interest in Al-Alaili to enhance its gains from the deal, especially since the player is considered one of the most prominent rising Saudi talents in the left-back position this season.
