Final Countdown: Will Abdulrahman Ghrib Re-sign with Al-Nassr or Move On?
Ghrib's renewal deadline looms as Al-Nassr awaits his decision.

Renewal deadline and deal terms

Al-Nassr has given Abdulrahman Ghrib a final deadline to renew his contract, following his surprising comments about his future with the club. Negotiations continue as both sides look to secure his future beyond the current season.

Offer details and expectations

According to Al-Riyadiya, the club has agreed to all requests from Ghrib's agent for a renewal, proposing a three-year deal worth ten million riyals per season, totaling thirty million.

Portuguese sporting director Simao Coutinho has asked the player and his representative to respond before the end of February to decide whether Ghrib stays or departs.

If Ghrib refuses to renew, the club will explore other options to bolster the squad for next season.

The 28-year-old has been in strong form this season, featuring in 20 games and contributing to 10 goals (six goals, four assists). He is the team's top scorer in the AFC Champions League with four goals, tied with Portuguese teammate Joao Felix.

Punchline 1: If this deal goes through, his bank balance will have more zeros than a penalty shootout has kicks.

Punchline 2: If not, the rumor mill will keep spinning faster than a winger sprinting down the flank—and my jokes will still be standing in line for a pay raise.
