Al-Ahli Club has officially announced the signing of player Nayef Masoud, a move within its early efforts to reinforce the squad ahead of the new sports season.

The announcement from Al-Ahli put an end to the speculation surrounding the player's future in recent times, especially after 'Asharq Al-Awsat' earlier revealed details of the negotiations between Al-Ahli and Al-Fateh, which concluded with a final agreement for the player's transfer to the Jeddah-based team.

This deal reflects Al-Ahli's desire to continue building a team capable of competing strongly in various tournaments, by attracting distinguished local names that support the current group and give the team greater depth in multiple positions, especially given the crowded season schedule and the multiple upcoming commitments.

The signing of Nayef Masoud is part of a series of moves aimed at raising the team's technical and physical readiness, while the management works on closing contract files early, thus allowing the technical staff a greater opportunity to integrate the new elements with the core group before the start of official competitions.
