Winter transfer whispers swirl

Reports emerging from the winter window suggest a surprising possibility: Al-Nassr could sign Musa Diaby from Al-Ittihad.

Across the Saudi Pro League, clubs are rushing to strengthen with several signings ahead of the next season.

According to Al-Marma on Al-Arabiya, Al-Nassr has agreed to loan defender Abdulrahman Al-Omri to Al-Ittihad until season’s end for five million riyals.

The report adds that Al-Nassr insists Diaby be included in the loan, tying the winger’s future to the deal.

It remains to be seen how the talks unfold, but the rumor mill already hums louder than a crowded press conference.

Updates are expected as the window continues.

Sniper punchline 1: If Diaby signs, the defense might finally fear something other than my playlist.

Sniper punchline 2: And if it falls through, at least the drama scores a hat-trick.
