Steven Bergwijn Set for Al Ittihad Move

Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad is poised to secure the signature of Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn from Ajax Amsterdam.

According to multiple reports, the two clubs have reached a verbal agreement for a transfer package worth €25 million. This deal would see Bergwijn join the Saudi Pro League, following in the footsteps of several high-profile European stars who have made the move to the Middle East in recent months.

Bergwijn, who has been a key player for Ajax since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2022, is expected to bring his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability to Al Ittihad. The Saudi club has been actively strengthening their squad with top-quality signings as they aim to compete at the highest level both domestically and internationally.

The transfer is subject to finalizing the paperwork and a medical examination, but all indications point towards a successful conclusion. If the deal goes through, Bergwijn will become the latest European player to join the Saudi Pro League, which has gained significant attention in recent times due to its ambitious spending and the influx of top-tier talent.
