Saudi clubs have recorded intensive movements in the summer transfer market, with the Professional League set to kick off soon, focusing on strengthening their squads with local names to ensure technical stability and enhance the lineup before the season begins on August 28.

Al-Nassr's movements in the market have been highlighted, as they agreed to resell Bassam Hazzazi's contract to Al-Ettifaq for three seasons, while negotiations continue to retrieve defender Abdullah Madu to support the defensive line after the departure of Ali Lajami and the expiration of Mohammed Al-Fateel's contract.

Al-Nassr also signed duo Abdul Malik Al-Jaber from the Bosnian club Zeljeznicar and Nader Al-Sharari from Al-Shabab, while Al-Ittihad moved quickly to cover the gaps in their squad by signing a long-term contract with right-back Ahmed Al-Jlaydan from Al-Fateh, who joined the team directly on their trip to Hong Kong for the Saudi Super.

Al-Ittihad also brought in goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Absi from Al-Shabab to compensate for Raikovic's injury, while they made additional local deals including Mohammed Barnawi from Al-Hilal, Mohammed Hazzazi from Al-Nassr, and Adnan Al-Bushri from Al-Ahli, increasing competition for key positions, according to the vision of French coach Laurent Blanc.

Al-Hilal strengthened its defensive lineup by signing Ali Lajami from Al-Nassr and Abdul Karim Darsi from Al-Ahli, while duo Yasser Al-Shahrani and Musab Al-Juwair moved from Al-Hilal to Al-Qadisiyah. Other local clubs also made deals to bolster their squads before the season starts, reflecting the league's reliance on local talents despite the allure of global names.

The movements included various deals for Al-Ettifaq, Al-Taawun, Neom, Al-Khaleej, Al-Faihah, and Al-Riyadh, in addition to the newly promoted Al-Najma to the Professional League, which made eight local signings to strengthen the team, confirming that the focus on local players will be the clubs' bet to achieve technical stability and compete for the title and Asian qualifying spots.
