Al-Ahli Approaches Renewal of Star Player's Contract

The management of Al-Ahli Saudi Club has taken strong steps towards renewing the contract of midfielder Ziad Al-Jahani, amid a mutual desire from both parties to continue for upcoming seasons within the first team.

According to reports from Al-Riyadiyah newspaper, negotiations between the two sides have reached advanced stages, with a preliminary agreement covering most of the contract terms, paving the way for an official extension announcement soon.

Ziad Al-Jahani enjoys the trust of German coach Matthias Jaissle, who sees him as a key element in his lineup, aligning with Al-Ahli's management's aim to maintain team stability.

According to sources, the player has expressed his desire to continue his journey with Al-Ahli, the club he grew up in, while discussions are still ongoing regarding the expected salary in the new contract.

Several Saudi clubs are closely monitoring Al-Jahani's situation, especially after he entered the free agency period that precedes the end of his contract next summer, which enhances the importance of finalizing the deal as soon as possible.

Since his promotion to the first team in 2020, Ziad Al-Jahani has participated in 100 official matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists, making him one of the most prominent midfield talents in Saudi football.
