It seems that the Syrian Omar Al-Soma, the Al-Ahly striker, will not leave Saudi Arabia, but will move to a professional league club, and not to a Qatari club.
What is the story of the Qatari offer to include Omar Al-Soma?
The Qatari newspaper, Doha Stadium, confirmed that Omar Al-Soma is on his way to move to the Qatari club Al-Arabi, for one season on loan.
The newspaper added that Al-Soma will arrive in the Qatari capital, Doha, within a few days, in order to undergo medical examinations and finalize all the details of his transfer to Al-Arabi.
Al-Soma has been associated with a number of clubs since the relegation of Al-Ahly, most notably Al-Qadisiyah in Kuwait and Al-Jazira in the UAE, but his travel to Turkey to participate in the team’s external preparatory camp reduced the pace of talk regarding his departure and opened the door for him to stay in Jeddah next season to fight with Al-Raqi in the Yellow League with the aim of returning quickly to the professionals.
Who is the Saudi team that approached the inclusion of Soma?
The Saudi newspaper, “Al-Youm”, confirmed that Al-Wahda Club came very close to including Omar Al-Soma on the loan system for one season only, starting from the next season.
Al-Soma’s desire to play in the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional Cup played a major role in his approaching move to Al-Wahda, despite the many foreign offers that the player received recently.
It is noteworthy that Al-Ahly contracted with Tunisian striker Youssef Al-Abdali, and renewed the contract of his Saudi striker, Haitham Asiri, this summer.
