2 January 2026
Club Responds to Bergwijn Rumors
Al-Ittihad spoke in English to respond to rumors about the departure of their Dutch star Steven Bergwijn ahead of the January transfer window.
Newspaper reports suggested Bergwijn could leave the squad during the winter market, as several European clubs reportedly chased his signature.
The club posted photographs on X in English, showing Bergwijn training alongside Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao and teammate Karim Benzema, sharing smiles.
The post read: 'Believe what you see, not what they say,' nudging fans to doubt unfounded rumors about a likely departure.
Some reports talked of tensions between Bergwijn and Conceicao due to his absence from several matches after the coach's arrival, but Bergwijn has since returned to action and helped the team ahead of a Saudi Pro League clash with Al-Taawoun on January 3, 2026 at 18:30.
Punchline 1: If Bergwijn's move is a sniper shot, the target is clarity—and the rifle keeps reloading with every rumor.
Punchline 2: Transfer gossip is the only sport where the ball never enters the net but headlines still fly faster than the players.
