What is the truth about Salem Al-Dawsari's transfer to Al-Ahly?

Dr. Khaled Al-Issa, president of the Saudi club Al-Ahli Jeddah, has sparked controversy surrounding the future of veteran player Salem Al-Dawsari, captain of Al-Hilal and the Saudi national team, following statements that sparked speculation about a possible transfer next summer. Al-Ahli recently achieved a major accomplishment by winning the AFC Champions League Elite title against Japan's Kawasaki Frontale in the final, which Al-Ahli won 2-0, cementing its position as one of the continent's top clubs. While Al-Ahli continues to celebrate the continental title, the future of Salem Al-Dawsari, whose contract with Al-Hilal expires at the end of the current season, has become the talk of the sports world. Although the player has not yet renewed his contract with his team, many questions are being asked about his next destination. In statements made to MBC Action, Al-Issa confirmed that Salem Al-Dawsari is a great player and has great value for Al-Hilal and the Saudi national team, stressing the need to keep a unique player like Al-Dawsari at both Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli. However, Al-Essa indicated that Al-Ahli is not currently interested in officially signing the player, explaining that the club has not yet entered into direct negotiations with him. Al-Essa added in his statements: "The idea of ​​Salem Al-Dawsari moving to any team other than Al-Hilal is not unlikely, because his contract with the team is at the end of its term, and therefore he has the right to sign with any club he deems appropriate." He also pointed out that "no club has the exclusive right to own the player, especially in this period before the end of his contract, and therefore he is free to make his own decision." It is worth noting that Salem Al-Dawsari's name has recently been linked with a move to the Saudi club NEOM, which recently won promotion to the Roshen Professional League next season, which further complicates matters and makes his transfer a hot topic in the Saudi sports arena. As the end of the season approaches, the fate of Salem Al-Dawsari will remain the focus of attention for many clubs, given the player's great potential, and he has been considered one of the most prominent players in Saudi football in recent years.
