The management of Al-Fateh Club is close to completing the deal to sign Abdullah Radif, a player from Al-Hilal Club, as part of strengthening the ranks of the exemplary team during the current winter transfer period.

According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Abdullah Radif is close to joining Al-Fateh before the winter transfer window closes, which is scheduled to end next Monday, pending the completion of necessary administrative procedures.

The newspaper clarified that Al-Fateh Club is awaiting the acquisition of the financial efficiency certificate, which allows it to register new players. The club needs to provide more than 25 million riyals to settle its dues, with the possibility of covering part of the amount through outstanding financial receivables from entities supporting the Professional League clubs.

Al-Fateh Club is looking to strengthen its attacking line by signing a new striker, while Abdullah Radif is seeking more playing opportunities and regular minutes to convince French coach Hervé Renard, the Saudi national team coach, and to be considered for upcoming events, primarily the World Cup.
