On Deadline Day in the Saudi Pro League, Al-ittihad presented another big name with defender Luiz Felipe (26) on the last possible transfer day. According to a report, Al-Ettifaq also tried this with ex-BVB professional Jadon Sancho (23), but perhaps too late.
Former Lazio professional Luiz Felipe is leaving Real Betis Sevilla, where he moved just a year ago as one of the Andalusians’ most valuable signings ever. The Italian with Brazilian roots caused a stir during his 22 league appearances for Betis, especially with three dismissals. The transfer fee that Ittihad is supposed to pay amounts to 25 million euros – the fourth highest income from a player sale for the Spaniards. The Saudi club has only spent more on a player twice in its history (i.e. this summer).

Meanwhile, league rivals Al-Ettifaq are said to have sought a last-minute transfer from Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho. According to a “CBS” report, it was about a loan, and coach Steven Gerrard would have liked to add a purchase option. Since there was no longer enough time for this, a simple loan remained in the room, which, according to several media reports, has since fallen apart one way or another. As “The Athletic” wrote, Sancho was very interested. The same applies to Mohamed Salah (31) from Liverpool FC, whose move to the club is also not expected to take place this year.
