Wijnaldum transfer: federation's gain
Al Ittihad Saudi Club successfully signed Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum for one season, without any transfer fees, after his departure from Al-Ettifaq. This move aims to strengthen the midfield as part of building a team capable of competing in various tournaments. Although Wijnaldum is 35 years old and has an impressive track record with major European clubs and the Dutch national team, his importance depends largely on the role he will be assigned within the team. His experience can be leveraged to extend his playing lifespan and to deploy him in multiple midfield roles, especially if he performs exceptionally during the season. If so, he will become a valuable addition; however, if his potential is not clearly utilized, he could turn into a "missing piece." The most notable advantage is that this deal came without transfer costs and with a short-term contract that reduces risks, making it a flexible and significant deal—especially if Ittihad's coaching staff can effectively harness Wijnaldum's abilities.
