The Saudi League continued to gather stars from all over the world, the last of whom was Amin Younes, a player from Naples and the German national team, who officially announced the agreement to sign him on Sunday.
The Saudi club was linked with the contract with Younes during the last summer transfer market, but the deal did not take place in the end, and it took place this month, hours after the announcement of the inclusion of Youssef Niakati, who terminated his contract with Al-Ittihad by mutual consent about two weeks ago.

The agreement announced on its official website the signing of a contract with the 28-year-old that extends until the summer of 2024 in a free transfer deal, noting that the signing took place on Sunday at the club’s headquarters in the presence of CEO Moaz Al-Ohali.
Al-Ohali confirmed that the contract with Younis came on the recommendation of coach Vladan Milojevic, due to the technical team’s need for his services in the coming period, and stressed the administration’s efforts to support the ranks in the winter transfer period and its keenness to include high-level elements with a strong professional biography and those who can provide the required addition.
It is noteworthy that Younes played for the young German teams, and also played 8 matches with the German national team, the last of which was against North Macedonia in March 2021, and scored two goals with the Germans.
The player has played multiple offensive roles for several European clubs, most notably Ajax Amsterdam, Naples and Eintracht-Frankfurt, and he played 26 matches in the German League last season, during which he left his mark on 6 goals.
