Saudi Arabian club Al-Riyadh have received approval from the Professional League Association to complete the signing of Egyptian international Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet during the current summer transfer window.
The development moves the former Al Ahly player’s proposed transfer closer to completion, with the Saudi club now expected to announce the deal soon.
According to Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh, the club has secured the necessary approval to register Trezeguet after satisfying the requirements set by the Professional League Association.
The report also states that the Egyptian winger has already signed his contract with Al-Riyadh.
The remaining step is therefore the official announcement, which could come after the club completed the necessary registration requirements.
Al-Riyadh have also obtained the “financial competence” certificate, allowing them to proceed with registering new players.
Trezeguet leaves Al Ahly
Trezeguet’s move to Saudi Arabia comes shortly after his departure from Al Ahly.
The Egyptian club recently confirmed that it had ended its contract with the player by mutual agreement between the two parties.
That decision brought his latest spell with Al Ahly to an end and opened the way for him to pursue a move elsewhere during the current transfer window.
Trezeguet is now poised to continue his career in the Saudi league with Al-Riyadh, subject to the formal announcement of the transfer.
The latest reports suggest that the main administrative obstacles have been cleared.
The Professional League Association’s approval is particularly significant because it allows Al-Riyadh to proceed with the player’s registration.
Al-Riyadh prepare to announce deal
The Saudi newspaper reported that Al-Riyadh are now in a position to officially confirm Trezeguet’s arrival.
The club has obtained the required “financial competence” certificate, which has also enabled it to register new players.
With those requirements addressed, the transfer is expected to be announced in the near future.
The Egyptian international had already agreed terms with the Saudi club, according to the report, meaning the formal announcement would complete the latest stage of a move that has developed during the summer window.
For Al-Riyadh, the approval provides a clear path towards adding Trezeguet to their squad.
For the player, the transfer would represent a new chapter following his departure from Al Ahly.
Egyptian international set for Saudi move
Trezeguet has been one of the prominent Egyptian players involved in the current transfer activity, and his move to Al-Riyadh would see him continue his career in Saudi Arabia.
The deal follows the termination of his Al Ahly contract, which was agreed by both sides.
The Saudi club’s ability to register the player now depends on the completion of the formal process following the approval already received from the Professional League Association.
The latest reports indicate that this process is close to completion.
Al-Riyadh are reportedly ready to make the transfer public after securing the necessary financial clearance.
No further major obstacle has been reported in relation to the deal, with the official announcement now expected to follow.
The approval also means the club can move forward with registering its new signings as it prepares for the upcoming campaign.
For Trezeguet, the next step will be his official presentation as an Al-Riyadh player once the Saudi club confirms the agreement.
