The current champion of Saudi Arabia, "Al-Ittihod" team is exploring several options to strengthen their midfield. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano announced this on his social media pages. According to sources, "Al-Ittihod" is negotiating with Ismael Bennacer from the Italian team "Milan".
Last season, he played on loan at the French club "Marseille". If the negotiations end unsuccessfully, the Saudi team may move to transfer Vendel from the Russian club "Zenit" in Saint Petersburg.
However, Vendel has previously stated that he does not intend to play for "Al-Ittihod". Currently, Vendel has not been registered for the new season.
After the move to the "Botafogo" club did not materialize, the player did not participate in the team's pre-season training. These circumstances may affect the next steps in strengthening "Al-Ittihod" team's midfield line.
The team management is closely monitoring this process.
