Ittihad Eyes a Fresh Al Nassr Target in the Winter Window
2 January 2026
Background
Ittihad has targeted a fresh talent from their rival Al Nassr in the upcoming winter window, following a failed bid for Abdulrahman Al-Omari earlier this year.
Earlier attempts were made to sign Al-Omari during the previous summer, after he was loaned to Ittihad last season, but Al Nassr rejected every offer, causing the deal to fall through.
According to Al Riyadiyah, the club now has eyes on Abdulrahman Ghareeb as the winter target from Al Nassr, with talks heating up for a potential move.
Current Status
Ghareeb has reportedly entered a free agency phase, allowing him to sign with any club and move freely in the upcoming summer window if a deal is reached.
Despite the interest, the 28-year-old would give priority to staying with Al Nassr should a renewal agreement be reached; if not, he will consider other options.
Ghareeb has impressed this season, appearing in 12 matches for 371 minutes, scoring 3 goals and creating 4 assists, translating to a goal involvement every ~53 minutes.
In addition, a feature on the match recirculation highlights the ongoing Saudi Pro League context with a glimpse at Ittihad versus Al Taawoun as part of the broader transfer chatter.
Punchlines are on the way, because even in football, sometimes the sniper misses the target—then the fans send a search party to social media. Punchline two keeps it honest: transfers are a soap opera with better uniforms.
