Winter Transfer Window: Al Nassr Eyes Abdulaziz Al-Aliya Return
23 December 2025
Winter Transfer Window Update
Al Nassr is eyeing a return for Abdulaziz Al-Aliya, the 21-year-old winger from Al Khuloud, thanks to a clause that gives his former club the right of first refusal in a future deal.
Al-Aliya's move to Al Khuloud came in the last summer window, and he has impressed since, delivering two goals and three assists across 12 appearances in league and cup.
The Saudi sport daily Al-Riyadia reports that Al Nassr inserted a clause into the transfer agreement that grants them a priority to re-sign him if a formal bid arrives.
The clause also requires the club to notify Al Khuloud of any official offer and give Al Nassr a seven-day window to persuade the player to return.
His contract with Al Khuloud reportedly includes a penalty clause allowing any club to terminate and sign him directly, without returning to his current team.
The youngster, who turned 21, has drawn interest from several clubs after being named best player at the Under-23 Gulf Championship won by the Saudi national squad, scoring twice in the final.
Since arriving at Al Khuloud, he has played 12 matches in both the Saudi Pro League and the King Salman Cup, tallying two goals and three assists.
If he signs, the winter transfer window might finally stop asking for a raise. If his left foot ever learns to speak, the goalposts might start negotiating with the net.
