The newspaper explained that the clubs interested in the player are Al-Ittifaq, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli, in a deal expected to see fierce competition amid widespread public and media anticipation, given Al-Mufarrij’s outstanding quality and vast experience in defence.
Reports added that each club is assessing its financial and technical capabilities to sign the player, whilst closely monitoring his performance with Al-Taawoun, where he is currently a key figure in the defence.
Mutaib Al-Mufarrij’s contract with Al-Sukari is set to expire next June, meaning he will leave on a free transfer.
