The management of Al-Ittihad Club has rejected the offer made by the Spanish club Celta Vigo to acquire Talal Haji on a permanent basis without any financial compensation, considering the offer illogical and not serving the club's interests, according to exclusive sources for "Al-Riyadiyah".

The sources clarified that the Union management does not oppose loaning the player, whether to the Spanish club or any other team, in order to provide him with a greater opportunity to participate and develop his skills. The player also confirmed his desire to experience professional football abroad through the gateway of Celta Vigo.

"Al-Riyadiyah" had revealed on August 4 that Celta Vigo submitted an official offer to purchase Talal Haji's contract from Al-Ittihad. The player started his career in the youth categories of Al-Ittihad until he reached the first team, participating in 11 matches during which he scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists.

It is noteworthy that Talal Haji is the second youngest player to join the Saudi national team after Ahmed Jamil, as he was called up for the first time in November 2023 by former national team coach Roberto Mancini to participate in matches against Pakistan and Jordan.
