Saudi football is richer for another big name.Cooperation with Al-Ahli from Jeddah was officially signed today by Alan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle. The English club have confirmed the departure of the attractive winger who has been rumored in recent weeks.Al-Ahli paid the Magpies 25,000,000 euros for compensation plus bonuses with which the transfer could grow to 30,000,000 euros, which means the North England club earned money on the Frenchman, considering they paid about 18,000,000 euros to Nice four years ago. Saint-Maximin signed a three-year contract worth 12,000,000 euros net per season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7395586##Al-Ahli thus completed the treble of Premier League attackers. Before Saint-Maximin, Roberto Firmino from Liverpool and Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City came to the club from Jeddah. Fans on social networks agree that Al-Ahli got a real football party because it is about three very attractive players who, according to that parameter, were at the very top of the Premier League football. Firmino is known as a selfless player who can decide a match with a move, Mahrez was technically one of the most dominant players in the league, and Saint-Maximin was one of the best dribblers.A reminder – the Senegalese net keeper Edouard Mendy from Chelsea also came to Al-Ahli’s goal, and earlier there was the Algerian midfielder Riyad Boudebouz who once played for Montpellier, Betis, Celta, Saint Etienne… The German coach Matthias Jaissle from Salzburg arrived on the bench two days ago.Al-Ahli’s frontline has had a glow up! Allan Saint-Maximin has joined the Saudi Pro League side ✍️ pic.twitter.com/PN9nBlKaKi— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) July 30, 2023 Given that in Saudi football, each club can have a maximum of eight foreigners, it is expected that Al-Ahli will bring more sound reinforcements. First of all in midfield. So far, Paul Pogba, Stanislav Lobotka, Piotr Zielinski, Sofyan Amrabat, Franck Kessie have been mentioned as wishes… It is obvious that Al-Ahli is looking for a central or defensive midfielder.
