Transfer Talk: Mitrovic and Al Ahli Jeddah
Media reports sparked questions about Al Ahli Jeddah's pursuit of Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic from Al Rayyan, with whispers of a winter signing. The claim is that the club could pursue him in the upcoming transfer window should certain moves elsewhere take shape.
What the Channel Said
The TV program on the Saudi channel denied the rumors, stating that Al Ahli is not considering signing the Serbian forward in the winter window. They stressed that the reports do not reflect the club's current plans.
Mitrovic s Recent History and Injury Note
Mitrovic spent the past two seasons with Al Hilal after arriving from Fulham in 2023, helping to secure four titles before moving to Al Rayyan in the recent summer window. Before leaving, he battled a series of injuries that kept him out of many matches, including the 2025 Club World Cup, where he was absent entirely.
While fans may still speculate, the program asserted that Al Ahli's leadership is aware of Mitrovic's physical issues and would not push to secure his services in the near term.
Punchline 1: If this rumor proves true, I better start practicing the pronunciation of his name; Mitrovic, Mitrovich, whichever sticks, I’ll get it right before coffee kicks in.
Punchline 2: In football rumors, the only thing more fragile than a transfer deadline is the source itself—watch this space like a suspenseful podcast titled The Transfer That Wasn’t.
