Al-Ahli Jeddah Secures a High-Profile Strike Upgrade from the Yelo League
20 January 2026
Deal Details
Abha player set to join Al-Ahli.
Al-Ahli have secured a key deal from the Yelo league to bolster their attack during the ongoing summer window.
According to Eight Network, Al-Ahli have agreed with Mishal Al-Mutairi, a Yelo league star from Abha, to join Al-Ahli this summer after entering his free-agent period.
The report says the deal would run for three years starting next summer, and due to Mishal's desire to stay with Abha this season, Al-Ahli has not yet pursued a bid for the remaining contract.
Abha are adamant they will not sell the remainder of Mishal's deal, regardless of the offer from Al-Ahli, given their ambition to climb.
Sources also say Mishal and Abha share the same goal of staying until the end of the season.
