Neom club has begun serious steps to sign Al-Taawoun defender Aoun Al-Sulouli, as part of its plan to strengthen the backline ahead of the new season in the Saudi Professional League.

Informed sources have reported that Neom's management has opened direct communication channels with their counterparts at Al-Taawoun, aiming to reach an agreement that would lead to Al-Sulouli's transfer during the ongoing summer transfer window.

Neom's management is looking to present a comprehensive offer that includes a financial compensation, in addition to including one of the team's players in the deal, in an attempt to persuade Al-Taawoun to part with the 26-year-old defender.

Aoun Al-Sulouli is considered one of the prominent defensive pillars at Al-Taawoun, and he has drawn attention with his strong performances in past seasons, making him a target for several clubs, with ambitious Neom club at the forefront.

Neom aims to build a competitive team capable of making a clear impact in its first appearance in the Professional League, and the Al-Sulouli deal is part of its project aimed at enhancing the defensive depth with influential local expertise.
