The management of the club decided to extend the contract of Algerian midfielder Houssem Aouar for an additional season, aiming to ensure his continued presence within the team and to close the door on European offers.

This step came after the outstanding performance the player delivered following his recovery from injury and his strong return to matches during the final rounds of the Saudi Roshan League.

Awar stood out remarkably in the Clasico against Al-Hilal in the 23rd round, affirming his technical value and clear impact in the midfield.

The federal administration is working to finalize the renewal details in the coming hours, amid growing European interest in his services before the summer transfer window opens.

For his part, Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao emphasized the importance of Aouar's continued involvement in the technical project, given his role in making a difference in the final third.

The federation relies on the experience and capabilities of its Algerian player in the race to finish the season within the top four and to continue competing strongly for continental qualification spots.
