Market

Ahmed Al-Siyahi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al-Riyadh, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Al-Riyadh say no — this time

The offer from Dibba for Jan Petek was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Mamadou Sylla in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Riyadh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Adulrahman Al-Shammari moves on

Al-Wehda pay $190.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Words at Al-Riyadh training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yoann Barbet is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

A bad afternoon for Al-Riyadh against Damac

0‑2 to Damac, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No hiding place for Milan Borjan

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Milan Borjan, and the manager let it.

Squad

Luca Ramirez out for 33 days

The medical room confirms 33 days on the sidelines for Luca Ramirez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch

Thamer Al-Dhafeeri wants to come home

“I did not go to Al-Khaleej to sit and watch. I want to come back to Al-Riyadh and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 1 matches say the rest.

Market

Al-Hilal come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Riyadh did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Al-Riyadh

Mamadou Sylla was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Mohammed Al-Khaibari stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mohammed Al-Khaibari and Al-Riyadh agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Al-Njoom watching Emad Fidaa

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Al-Riyadh have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Jan Petek pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Market

The clock runs on Tozé's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

In brief
