Private sources revealed to Al-Riyadhiya that Khaled Al-Ghannam, the player of Al-Nasr first football team, who is currently loaned to Al-Fateh, wants to return to his yellow club, and not to go out with new loans to other clubs, following the end of the current sports season.
And Al-Fateh announced last January 28 that Al-Ghanam was borrowed from Al-Nasr until the end of the season, following the approval of French coach Rudi Garcia, who was dismissed from his position last month. According to the same sources, the Al-Fateh administration did not submit any letter or desire, until the time of preparing this news, to extend the loan of Al-Ghannam for an additional season, provided that the matter is resolved at the end of this May. Al-Ghannam joined the ranks of Al-Nasr at the end of January 2020, coming from Al-Qadisiyah, with a contract that extends for five seasons, as he wore the yellow shirt in 92 matches in various competitions, scored ten goals, and made 11.

Private sources confirmed to Al-Riyadiah that the opportunity for Spain’s Alvaro Gonzalez, defender of the Al-Nasr first football team, to participate in the Al-Ta’i match, the day following tomorrow, in the 27th round of the Saudi Roshen League, has diminished.
The defender suffers from a back muscle injury, which he suffered during the Gulf match in the last round, “1-1”. And according to the same sources, today the medical staff at Al-Nasr Club decides whether or not Alvaro will participate in the meeting, indicating that he will be 100 percent ready before meeting Al-Shabab in the next post-round. The player was content with solitary fitness exercises, yesterday, following undergoing a treatment session in the back muscle, and he did not participate in group exercises.
On the other hand, Nawaf Al-Aqidi, the team’s goalkeeper, is still suffering from shoulder pain, and is expected to be absent from the list for the second consecutive match.

Al-Nasr Club received an invitation from tournament organizers in East Asia to host the first football team through a tour that includes participation in an international experimental tournament hosted by Japan.
The invitation is similar to what is directed to international European teams in the east of the Yellow Continent.
And the presence of international star Cristiano Ronaldo in the ranks of victory reinforced the organizers’ keenness to host the Saudi club in the expected Asian tour.
According to Al-Riyadiah’s private sources, part of the tour dates coincide with the King Salman Cup for Arab Clubs, which is scheduled to take place in three Saudi cities next August, which puts the yellow club in a dilemma that may be overcome by accepting the invitation in part and not in all its chronological details.
The capital club seeks to include the Asian tour in its preparatory program for the next season, following knowing the teams it will meet, and it will often be international European teams in addition to Asian-Japanese clubs.
It is noteworthy that Al-Nasr Club began reviewing some of the coaches’ files in an effort to contract with them to end the plans for the team’s preparation programs for the next season early.

Private sources revealed to Al-Riyadiah that Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo, the striker of Al-Hilal first football team, asked his agent to postpone negotiations with Al-Azraq Al-Asmi, until the end of this May, in order to stay for an additional season in its ranks.
This comes at a time when the striker has entered the free period of his contract, which allows him to sign for any other club without the approval of his current club.
According to the same sources, the Al-Hilalians have the preference clause for extending another year, until June 2024, according to the contract concluded with Ighalo, which gives them precedence over clubs that want his services, led by a Qatari club, which is currently competing for the title of its country’s league, during the upcoming summer transfers. And the top scorer of Al-Azraq in the Saudi Roshan League, “18 goals,” expressed his desire to postpone negotiations in order to focus on the remaining competitions with his team, which will play the final of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup once morest Al-Wehda, next Friday, at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.
