Saudi League clubs are witnessing activity in the transfer market to strengthen their ranks before the new season, with a focus on signing talented local players.
Al-Taawoun Club announced its official contract with the player Nasser Al-Haleel, coming from Al-Najma Club, in a three-year deal with the preferential option of renewing for a fourth season. This signing came to constitute an important strengthening for the ranks of the first team, in light of the advanced technical capabilities that the player demonstrated during the last period with his club Al-Najma, which prompted the club’s management to move quickly to resolve the deal before the closing of the transfer period.
The official announcement of the cooperation through his account on the “X” platform sparked widespread interest in sports circles, after the club commented on the deal with the phrase, “Their efforts failed... Nasser Al-Haleel joined Al-Taawoun,” in a clear indication that the deal was settled in favor of Al-Sukari despite the great competition for it, as Al-Haleel received the attention of major Roshan League clubs, but its desire to wear the Al-Taawoun logo and the seriousness of the negotiations outweighed the offer presented by the club’s management over the rest of the offers.
In the context of continuing administrative moves to enhance the quality of the roster and provide appropriate alternatives to the technical staff, the Al-Taawoun Department continued its activity in the transfer market by concluding additional deals that included various lines, and the administration was able to settle the files of young players who have good experience in the local league to ensure the team’s readiness for the upcoming competitions.
The last hours witnessed Al-Taawoun officially announcing the inclusion of the duo Faris Al-Ghamdi, coming from Al-Ettifaq Club, and Ibrahim Mahnashi, coming from Al-Qadisiyah Club, and this step comes with contracts extending for three years, with the option of renewing for an additional season for each of them.
Al-Riyadh Saudi Club announced its contract with right-back Awad Dahl, coming from Al-Ettifaq Club, to strengthen the team’s ranks during the new season.
The club welcomed the player through its official account on the “X” platform, in a post that carried the phrase: “Awad Dahl... to Al-Wusta School... welcome to Riyadh,” accompanied by a picture of the player in the team’s shirt.
Dahl is 21 years old. He was born on February 23, 2005, and plays in the right-back position, according to official data from the Saudi Professional League and the Saudi Football Federation.
Dahl previously represented the Saudi national teams for the Sunni categories, and was on the list of the Saudi under-21 team in the March 2026 camp. He was also called to the list of the team participating in the football competitions of the “Nagoya 2026” Asian Games.
Al-Koloud Club closed the file for contracting with a foreign goalkeeper for the current season, preferring to rely entirely on national elements to protect its team. This decision came to reflect the administration’s approach towards strengthening confidence in local cadres and providing the foreign player slot to support other positions on the field.
In this context, the club's management officially completed the procedures to restore its former goalkeeper, Mohammed Al-Shammari, by purchasing his contract from Al-Jandal Club. This sudden return comes only four months after the club announced the end of the contractual relationship with the player at the beginning of the summer transfer period.
With the addition of Al-Shammari, the list of goalkeepers in the first team is completed with a local trio that brings together the two goalkeepers, Hamed Al-Shanqeeti and Muhannad Al-Yahya, thus closing Al-Khuloud’s goalkeeping file once and for all before the transfer window closes.
Mohamed Salah scored two goals and made another to lead his team, Trabzonspor, to victory, raising his scoring tally to 4 goals since joining the Turkish team this summer. The club published video clips and edited photos highlighting his performance and describing him as a “storm.”

Turkey's ambassador to Egypt, Salih Mutlu Shen, commented on Mohamed Salah's goal from a penalty kick during the Trabzonspor match against Gencerberligi, praising the Egyptian player's performance and publishing a photo of his celebration, considering that the prostration of thanks opens the heart of the Turkish nation, while Salah reached his fifth goal-scoring contribution this season in the Turkish league.

Al-Taawoun Club signed Nasser Al-Haleel from Al-Najma for three years with an option to renew, while Al-Fateh announced the return of Ali Al-Hassan from Al-Nasr on a three-year contract, and Al-Khuloud closed the goalkeeper file by restoring Muhammad Al-Shammari from Al-Jandal four months after ending the contractual relationship.
