Several players may benefit from the potential departure of Abderrazak Hamdallah, the Al-Ittihad striker, this summer, although there will also be a loser due to this move. Saudi media reports suggest that Hamdallah is close to leaving the confines of the "Captain" castle, with the club's new management planning to replace him with another foreign player in the summer transfer market.
Al-Ittihad has not issued any official statement regarding Hamdallah's situation, who is under contract with the club until June 2025, but the Moroccan himself is creating ambiguity about his future through vague messages on his Instagram account.
If Hamdallah's departure from Al-Ittihad is confirmed, the striker's most likely destination would be outside Saudi Arabia, possibly returning to the Moroccan league or embarking on an experience in a new Arab league.
Hamdallah does not have a good relationship with his former Saudi club, Al-Nassr, as issues between the two parties have escalated to the International Sports Court, making a return unlikely at this time. Additionally, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are reportedly focusing on signing strikers from major European leagues, meaning there may not be an opportunity to sign the Moroccan goal-scorer.
