The management of Al-Qadisiyah Club has taken serious steps to negotiate with the Portuguese player Octavio, a midfielder from Al-Nassr, to be a replacement for the duo Iggy Fernandez and Cameron Puertas, who have moved to the German league through Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen.

Octavio's position with Al-Nassr has notably declined since his compatriot Jorge Jesus took over the coaching role of the team, as he was excluded from the training camp in Austria, before later returning to training without participating collectively with his teammates.

The player continues his individual training currently, reflecting that his departure from the ranks of 'Al-Nassr' has become a matter of time, especially with the technical management's desire to restructure the midfield in line with the vision of the new coach.

According to sources, Al-Qadisiyah has set its sights on signing foreign players to support the defensive midfield and pivot positions, aiming to compensate for the gap left by the departure of the two key players that the team relied on last season.

Additionally, German player Julian Weigl from Borussia Monchengladbach has entered the club's radar, amid strong competition from Al-Shabab, which is also seeking to strengthen its midfield with an experienced European player.

Al-Qadisiyah's management hopes to successfully complete these signings before the close of the summer transfer market, to ensure a balanced squad capable of competing in the Saudi Professional League.
