Statements following Asian qualification
These controversial statements came after the end of his team Al-Nassr's match against their Turkmen counterpart Arkadag , which was held at the "Al-Awwal Park" stadium in the capital, Riyadh, as part of the second leg of the round of 16.

Al-Hilal enters the fray at the request of Jesus
In a related development, informed sources revealed to Okaz newspaper that behind-the-scenes developments are underway, with the player awaiting a serious move from Al-Nassr's management to improve their financial offer to better reflect his abilities and technical impact. This hesitation from Al-Nassr comes at a highly sensitive time, as their arch-rivals, Al- Hilal , have entered the race to secure the player's services.
Reports indicate that Al-Hilal's Portuguese Jorge Jesus , has recommended to the club's management the signing of Ghareeb, considering him a key player in his future tactical plans due to his speed, exceptional dribbling skills, and playmaking abilities. In response to this recommendation, Al-Hilal's management has submitted a lucrative financial offer, with a preliminary agreement reached on all financial terms and the contract duration, pending the player's final approval.
The importance of the deal and its impact on the Saudi transfer market
The Abdulrahman Ghareeb saga has acquired paramount importance, transcending the mere transfer of a player between two clubs; it represents a new chapter in the age-old rivalry between Riyadh's two giants, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal. The transfer of a player of Ghareeb's stature, a cornerstone of the Saudi national team, from Al-Nassr to Al-Hilal would constitute a significant blow, both morally and technically, and would reshape the balance of power in the Saudi Professional League's attacking flanks.
The Saudi sports scene is watching the coming hours with great caution. While Al-Nasr fans hope to keep their talented star, Al-Hilal fans are hoping for a high-caliber local deal that will strengthen their team's dominance. The final decision remains with Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
