Al Ettifaq, Al Taawoun, and Al Khaleej have made strong moves in the final hours of the Saudi transfer market, as the three clubs completed several signings to bolster their squads before the summer transfer window closes.


Al Ettifaq have signed Brazilian defender Pedro Henrique, arriving from Red Bull Brasil, in a deal aimed at bolstering the team's defensive line during the current season.


Al-Ettifaq has revealed through its official account on the 'X' platform that Pedro Henrique's contract extends for two seasons, making the Brazilian defender one of the new options in the team's defense.


The signing of Pedro Henrique comes after the departure of defender Diego Leite, who chose to move to SS Lazio on a free transfer instead of completing his move to Al Ettifaq.


In another move, Al Taawoun have agreed to loan their striker Fahad Al-Rashidi to Al Khaleej, allowing the player to experience a new challenge with the 'Dana' before returning to the ranks of the 'Wolves'.


Fahad Al-Rashidi joined Al Taawoun in January from Al Ahli, signing a contract that runs for two and a half years, with an option to extend for an additional season, before being loaned out to Al Khaleej.


Fahad Al-Rashidi's loan coincides with Al Taawoun's notable activity in the transfer market, as the team bolstered its squad by signing defender Nasser Al-Halil and midfielder Faris Al-Ghamdi.


Faris Al-Ghamdi has joined Al Taawoun from Al Ettifaq, where he spent several years developing his career in the youth categories before reaching the first team and embarking on a new experience with the 'Wolves'.


The midfielder is set to work under Serbian coach Žarko Lazić, having participated in 20 matches with Al-Ettifaq last season, during which he earned the trust of coach Saad Al-Shehri.


Faris Al-Ghamdi has appeared for Al Ettifaq in two matches out of six the team has played this season, under the management of Australian Arthur Papas, before moving to Al Taawoun.


The movements of Al-Ettifaq, Al-Taawoun, and Al Khaleej reveal intense activity in the final hours of the Saudi transfer window, as the three clubs seek to enhance the quality of their squads ahead of the upcoming phase of the competitions.
