Saudi club Al-Ittihad sought to sign three international players in addition to Karim Benzema.
Al Ittihad president Anmar Al-Haili said he intended to communicate on what happened during the last week of the summer transfer window.
Al-Ittihad wanted to make a gigantic transfer window
Al-Ittihad attempted to sign Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Ramos before the latter signed with Sevilla. In the end, none of his players came. And the Saudi team had to settle for Karim Benzema as the sole head of the gondola. Kanté and Fabinho do not, let’s admit it, have the same dimensions.
Al-Haili told the Spanish daily AS: “I remained silent at this time… But I hope to be able to respond soon on what happened in the last week of the summer transfer window regarding Salah, Sergio Ramos and…. De Bruyne.
Al-Haili has just appointed Marcelo Gallardo as the new coach of Al Ittihad this week. With this signing, he hopes to be able to attract other big names in the game in 2024.
