The African star Mohamedou Dumbia has ignited controversy among Ittihad fans after making a notable move by following the club's official account on Instagram, which many considered a clear indication of his impending transfer to "Al-Amid".

Despite the immense excitement this move has generated among Ittihad supporters, the management has yet to issue any official statement confirming or denying the conclusion of a final agreement regarding the player's acquisition during the current transfer window.

French journalist Loïc Tanzi has confirmed that the Dumbia deal has indeed been finalized in favor of Ittihad with a five-year contract worth 19 million euros, noting that the official announcement is just a matter of time.

It is worth mentioning that Dumbia, who is 22 years old, plays as a left winger and is considered one of the most prominent rising young talents in the African continent, possessing great technical skills and speed on the field.

The player has also had professional experiences in Europe where he showcased his offensive abilities, making him the focus of attention from several clubs, before Ittihad entered serious negotiations to acquire him to strengthen the team's ranks for the new season.

Ittihad fans are still awaiting the official announcement from the club's management to resolve the ongoing debate surrounding Dumbia's future, whose name has become the talk of the Saudi sports street in recent days.
