High-stakes bid: Diriyah presses for Al-Hamdan as Roshn League transfer rumors swirl

Update

Al-Diriyah, a challenger in the First Division, is determined to finalize a deal for Abdullah Al-Hamdan of Al-Hilal.

Hamdan joined Al-Hilal in February 2021, arriving from Al-Shabab, mid-season there.

During that period, the international forward played 142 games for Al-Hilal, scoring 13 goals and delivering 10 assists.

Al-Riyadia newspaper noted Diriyah is seeking to seize the moment and intensify talks with Hamdan soon.

And Hamdan's priority remains clear: he wants to stay in the Roshn League to keep under Hervé Renard's eye as Saudi prepares for the 2026 World Cup campaign.

Beyond that, Jorge Jesus, Al-Nassr coach, welcomed the idea, knowing the player's abilities from his spell coaching Al-Hilal, before he moved.

Transfer season: where dreams come with a clause and a crowd.

If it crashes, at least the memes will travel fast.
