Ittihad Secures Core, Eyes a Renewed Dynasty: Al-Aboud Stays On
Al-Ittihad moves to lock in its core by renewing Abdulrahman Al-Aboud’s contract through 2027 while pursuing renewals for Kanté, Benzema, and Fabinho. The club aims to stabilize the squad after a dip in Al-Aboud’s minutes under coach Sergio Conceição. Laurent Blanc’s influence is noted in the context of past marginalization of players. The team clinched last season’s league and cup titles with Al-Aboud as a pivotal contributor.
