Al-Qadisiyah FC's management has launched its serious and effective moves in the current summer transfer market, focusing its efforts on strengthening the team's defense. They sent an official letter to their counterparts at Al-Taawoun FC, inquiring about the possibility of opening negotiations to purchase the contract of international defender Waleed Al-Ahmad. This move reflects Al-Qadisiyah's strong desire to build a competitive and powerful team comprising a selection of top local and international players.
Details of Al-Qadsia's move and probing the waters
According to sources following the sports scene, Al-Qadisiyah's letter was in the form of an inquiry, intended to gauge Al-Taawoun's willingness to part with the player before submitting any formal financial offer. Al-Qadisiyah's management is awaiting a final response to determine their next step, whether it be submitting an offer commensurate with the player's market value or exploring alternative options should Al-Taawoun insist on retaining their solid defender.
Waleed Al-Ahmad: A defensive pillar and a target for clubs
Waleed Al-Ahmad is considered one of the most promising young defenders in the Saudi Professional League in recent seasons. The player, who previously moved from Al-Faisaly to Al-Taawoun, has established himself as an indispensable member of the "Wolves" squad, delivering impressive performances that have contributed to the stability of the team's defense. This brilliance has not gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of top clubs, most notably Al-Qadisiyah, who are looking for players with experience and leadership qualities on the field.
The context of the new Al-Qadisiyah project
This move cannot be separated from the broader context of Al-Qadisiyah Club following its acquisition by Aramco and its return to the Professional League. The Eastern Province club aims not only to remain in the league but also to compete for top positions. This necessitates a strong bench and top-level local players, given the importance of local talent in the league's competitive landscape. The scarcity of skilled local defenders makes the signing of Al-Ahmad a strategic objective.
Impact of the potential deal on the transfer market
If Al-Qadisiyah succeeds in finalizing this deal, it will send a strong message to its rivals about the club's intentions for the upcoming season. It will also present Al-Taawoun's management with a significant challenge in replacing a player of Al-Ahmad's caliber, especially given the intense competition expected both domestically and continentally. Sports fans and the media are eagerly awaiting the coming hours and days to learn the outcome of these negotiations and whether Waleed Al-Ahmad will wear Al-Qadisiyah's red jersey or continue his journey with Al-Taawoun.
