Saudi footballers are making big moves in European clubs with players like Muhannad Al-Saad, Saud Abdulhamid and Marwan Al-Sahafi showing the way forward. Their success shows how Saudi football talent is getting noticed worldwide.
- Muhannad Al-Saad has joined FC Lausanne-Sport on loan from Neom SC.
- Saud Abdulhamid is transitioning to RC Lens after a stint at AS Roma.
- Marwan Al-Sahafi is close to a loan deal with Royal Antwerp.
Muhannad Al-Saad’s European Journey
Muhannad Al-Saad who’s 22 years old and plays right wing, has joined FC Lausanne-Sport on loan from Neom SC. He’s 1.72m tall and ready to prove himself in Europe. After being on loan at Dunkerque before, this new move could see him playing in the UEFA Conference League if Lausanne beats FC Astana. This shows how more Saudi players are getting chances to play internationally.
Saud Abdulhamid’s Move to RC Lens
After having a tough time at AS Roma, Saud Abdulhamid is going to try to get back on track at RC Lens. The 26-year-old full-back is joining Lens on a dry loan even though he was supposed to go to Toulouse FC first. He played 8 games for Roma and got 1 goal and 1 assist. This move is really important for Saudi players trying to make it in top European leagues.
Marwan Al-Sahafi’s Prospective Loan
Marwan Al-Sahafi is almost ready to sign a loan deal with Royal Antwerp after doing really good at Beerschot even though they got relegated. Him maybe going to Antwerp shows that European teams are starting to notice how good Saudi players can be. When big teams like Antwerp want these players it shows that Saudi footballers are earning their spot in tough European leagues.
Saudi talents are popping up all over Europe! 🌍🇸🇦
This summer we’ve got some serious moves:
✔️ Muhannad Al-Saad to FC Lausanne — and guess what? If they beat FC Astana, he could be playing in the Conference League. Remember his name — big move coming in the next couple years for Muhannad 👀
✔️ Saud Abdulhamid is set to join Lens from AS Roma. We just hope he gets back on track after Roma’s bench-warming experiment nearly ruined him.
✔️ Marwan Al-Sahafi is close to signing for Royal Antwerp on loan. He balled out last season with Beerschot — even though they got relegated, the kid showed real levels. 🇧🇪
Saudi talents are shining in Europe… just keep your eyes on them 🔥

Saudi players are doing amazing things across Europe which shows how good Saudi football has gotten and how interested other countries are in our players. You can also see this with Talal Haji being the youngest person to ever score in the Roshn Saudi League and Al-Qadsiah doing so well in the Saudi Pro League.
