Al-Shabab Moves to Loan Saleh Al-Shehri from Al-Ittihad in Winter Transfer Window
The management of Al-Shabab Saudi Club is seeking to sign Saleh Al-Shehri, the striker of Al-Ittihad Jeddah's first football team and the Saudi national team, during the upcoming winter transfer window in January 2025, in order to strengthen the team's attacking lineup.
According to what was reported by Al-Riyadiyah newspaper on its X platform account, Al-Shabab's management has opened negotiations with their counterparts at Al-Ittihad club to discuss the possibility of signing Saleh Al-Shehri on loan until the end of the current season.
The Lions' management's move comes amid the urgent need to strengthen the frontline, especially after the Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah suffered a hamstring tear, which requires him to undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program that may last from 6 to 8 weeks.
Al-Shabab team is preparing to face Al-Ittihad in an anticipated showdown, scheduled for next Saturday at 8:30 PM Mecca time, as part of the 11th round of the Roshn Saudi League.
