May 2026
Al-Nassr suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat to Al-Qadsiah, dealing a major blow to their title ambitions and shifting momentum in the league race. Defensive lapses allowed Al-Qadsiah to take control despite Ronaldo’s efforts. After a brief equaliser, further errors exposed the backline, sealing a result that leaves their title push under pressure.
Harry Maguire
February 2026
A report says Maguire is increasingly likely to sign a new deal after regaining form and minutes under Carrick, helped by De Ligt’s injury opening a route back into the starting side. United are said to be discussing a compromise on salary and contract length, with Maguire keen to stay. External interest is mentioned from Milan and Al-Qadsiah, meaning United may act quickly to avoid losing a senior centre-back for free.
N’Golo Kanté (Al-Ittihad)
August 2025
N’Golo Kanté is set to leave Al-Ittihad this summer, with the club opening the door to his exit. His representatives are offering him to Monaco, Paris FC, and Al-Qadsiah as potential next destinations. Despite playing 80 games under Laurent Blanc and remaining in Didier Deschamps’ France squad, Al-Ittihad want to refresh their roster. Kanté, 34, could return to Europe or stay in Saudi Arabia as negotiations over his next move intensify.
