Al-Ahli published a statement on its official website, confirming the signing of Nayef Masoud on a contract extending for the next 4 years, ending in 2030.

Masoud commented on the deal, saying: 'Joining Al-Ahli is an important step in my career. I am well aware of the value of this club and its great history, and I realize the responsibility towards its fans.'

He added: 'I will give everything I have on the pitch, and I hope to live up to expectations, and that we achieve successes befitting the name of Al-Ahli together.'
