At the end of the transfer window, the market is shaken up by Saudi Arabia. And for good reason, the closing date of the Saudi transfer window has been postponed. Initially scheduled for the beginning of October, the transfer window will finally close on Monday, September 2. As a result, the giants of the championship are starting to multiply the leads and accelerate. This is particularly the case for Al-Nassr who wants to strengthen drastically to compete with the giant Al-Hilal who has an XXL team. And with Al-Ittihad continuing to recruit, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team had to move up a gear.
In this sense, we revealed to you a few days ago that the Frenchman Mohamed Simakan was coveted at the end of the transfer window. In addition to FC Barcelona who observed the player, it was especially Al-Nassr who therefore checked his name in defense. The Saudi club, which also ardently wanted Milan Skriniar, had therefore prepared another track so as not to waste time. It was then necessary to take out the checkbook since Leipzig demanded 45 million euros to part with him.
Agreement for 45 million
And everything has accelerated in the last few hours. According to our information, Al-Nassr has just reached a total agreement with Leipzig for the transfer of the versatile 24-year-old defender. The team coached by Luís Castro has reached an agreement and will pay more than 45 million euros to recruit him. But it now remains to reach an agreement with the player now. After three years in Germany, and a final season with 42 matches, Mohamed Simakan will have to decide now.
Negotiations are therefore continuing with the player now. If an agreement is reached quickly, the former Strasbourg player is expected in Saudi Arabia this Friday. A plane is already planned so that he can go for his medical examination with his new club. And Leipzig is preparing for his departure since the German club is studying defensive leads in recent hours. The outcome in the Simakan case is imminent.
