Derby-Day Shock: Hilal Signs Nassr's Gharib
Reports in the Saudi Pro League reveal a heavyweight shock as Al Hilal reportedly swoops on Abdulrahman Gharib, Nassr's winger, from a fierce neighbor. The move promises plenty of drama in the title race.
What remains and a quick look at the numbers
Okaz, the Saudi newspaper, said Hilal has reached an agreement with Abdulrahman Gharib on a move to their squad in the near future.
A formal signing is all that remains, making Gharib a Hilal player soon.
The switch comes as the winger's contract with Nassr ends at season's end and has not been renewed yet.
Gharib, 28, produced two goals in his last two matches, against Al Shabab and Damak, marking the first time he has scored in consecutive Roshen League fixtures since April 2024.
Overall, he has appeared 15 times for Nassr this season, tallying 5 goals and 4 assists.
Punchline 1: If transfers were desserts, this would be baklava—deliciously layered and somehow spicier than a derby night.
Punchline 2: And if this move doesn’t shake the internet, the roar from the stands will—Soccer’s fireworks, now with a passport.
