The management of Al-Shabab Club has entered into official negotiations with Al-Ahli to contract the goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi during the current summer transfer window, according to exclusive sources.

The sources confirmed that the Al-Ahli management has not yet made a decision, as they are awaiting the final decision from the German coach Matthias Jaissle, who determines the player's future with the team.

The coaching staff is considering keeping Al-Sanbi as the first alternative option to the starting goalkeeper Edward Mendy, who will be absent from the team for more than five matches due to his participation with his national team in the Africa Cup of Nations.

The young goalkeeper is part of Al-Ahli's future plans, especially after extending his contract until 2024, allowing him to stay with the club for the next three seasons, which strengthens the management's position to be cautious before responding to the offer.

It is expected that the Al-Ahli management will finalize its position in the coming days, whether to accept the offer presented by Al-Shabab or to hold on to the player to ensure the team's balance in local and continental competitions.

Al-Shabab's interest in the goalkeeper comes as part of its efforts to strengthen the goalkeeping position in preparation for the new season, while Al-Ahli is carefully monitoring the team's needs before making the final decision regarding Al-Sanbi's future.
