Bailey's transfer from Kingdom to Athens halted
The Saudi clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Diriyah failed to sign Aston Villa's Jamaican winger Leon Bailey during the current summer transfer window, as Greek club Olympiacos unexpectedly secured the deal in the final hours. Bailey will travel to Athens to undergo medical examinations and join the Greek club on a three-year contract that expires in 2029. Bailey was intended to replace the French winger Moussa Diaby, who transferred to Bayer Leverkusen. Currently, Al-Ittihad's options are limited to Japanese player Ritsu Duwan from Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite not completing the transfer, the Saudi league brought in many talents from the English Premier League this summer, including Samveril, Watkins, and Martinelli.
