Al-Soma on the Radar of Three Iraqi Clubs

Omar Al-Soma, the all-time top scorer of the Saudi Pro League, has caught the attention of clubs in the Iraqi Premier League, having received three official offers to join one of them for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.

According to informed sources, the competition for the signing of the Syrian striker has narrowed down to Al-Zawraa, Arbil, and Mosul, with Arbil's management demonstrating a serious and genuine desire to secure his signature.

Omar Al-Soma is currently a free agent after his contract with Al-Hazm ended, giving interested clubs an advantage in negotiations without entering into complex financial equations.

The Syrian striker is 37 years old, yet he still maintains his scoring weight and his reputation as one of the most prominent goal scorers in the history of Saudi football.

Al-Soma has an impressive record in the Gulf and the Arab world. He began his rise to prominence with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, becoming their star player and historic captain, before embarking on further experiences with Al Urooba and Al Hazm in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Soma has played for Al Arabi in Qatar and Al Qadsia in Kuwait, and had a brief stint with Wydad Casablanca in Morocco, which has given him extensive experience in various Arab leagues.

Sources have revealed that Al-Zawraa was the first club to submit an official offer for the player, in an effort to strengthen their attacking line with a big name before the season kicks off.

In contrast, Arbil is moving vigorously and has a clear desire to persuade Al-Soma to transfer to their squad. Meanwhile, Mosul has recently entered the scene with an offer of their own.

Observers believe that signing Al-Soma will provide any Iraqi club with a substantial technical addition on the pitch, along with a fan and marketing gain due to the player's popularity and long history in Arab football.
