The former Al-Hilal striker is Al-Raqi’s latest signing
Saudi club Al-Ahly have settled the deal for former Al-Hilal striker Abdullah Redif in the current summer transfer window, after their neighbors and arch-rivals Al-Ittihad refused to sign him.
On 7 July, Al Hilal announced the final departure of Abdullah Redif, 5 years after his promotion to the first team, during which he was loaned out to Al-Taawoun, Al-Shabaab, Al-Ittifaq and Al-Fayha.
He said Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat Al-Ahly has agreed with Abdullah Redif to join their ranks in the current summer Mercato, whose contract is extended for the next 4 years until 2030.
Redif had already agreed with Al-Ittihad club to move to their ranks.With a contract extending for 3 seasons, he was paid 27 million Riyals, 9 million per season, before “Dean” backed out due to lack of financial liquidity to complete the deal.
He is expected to be Al-Ahli’s third back-up striker, competing with Brazilian Ricardo Matias behind England’s Ivan Toney and Saudi Arabia’s Firas Al-Brykan.
The 23-year-old will thus be Al-Ahly’s sixth signing in the current summer Mercato, following Gambian Abu Bakr Sidi Kente, Portuguese Francisco Trincão, Armenian Edward Spiretzian and Saudis Meshal Al-Mutairi and Naif Masoud.
It is noteworthy that the last experience of the young Saudi striker was in the second half of the last season in Al-Fayha club, during which he participated in only 8 matches, during which he did not score any goals, while he scored two goals.
