Omar Hussain due for a Al Shabab medical

Everything agreed with Al Ahli, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Hamdan Mabkhout asks to leave Al Shabab

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Arthur Fonseca 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 Shabab this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Al Shabab rebuffed over Malek Janeer

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Al Wasl have kept their man, and Al Shabab go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

No deal for Yousif Ali at that price

Al Shabab offered $130.0K; Al Wasl said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Hajer watching Hassan Omar

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

A loan move for Ryan Francisco is in the works

Al Shabab have made the call to Sport Recife. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Al Wahda expected to open talks for Sultan Al Hammadi

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Al Shabab will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Arthur Fonseca linked with a move away

The name of Arthur Fonseca keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Al Shabab say nothing, which says plenty.

Al Shabab turn down Emirates Club for Amer Yaqoob

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Fahad Hassan asks to leave Al Shabab

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Amer Yaqoob pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Arthur Fonseca signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Arthur Fonseca commits to Al Shabab for another 4 years.

Juan Velázquez will not be coming to Al Shabab

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Belgrano is saying, and nobody at Al Shabab is enjoying the guessing.

Too dear: Al Shabab walk away from Gabriel Vareta

$100.0K was the most the club would pay and Al Wasl were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Al Dhafra watching Abdullah Khalfan

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

Nacional tell Al Shabab: Pablo Ruan is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
