Al-Nassr youngster Ayman Yahia has reportedly agreed to sign a long-term contract extension on deadline day.
Yahia has been rumoured to be on his way out of the club after initially turning down multiple offers to extend his stay in Riyadh.
The 22-year-old hasn’t been a starter under Luis Castro this season, scoring once and providing four assists in 16 appearances in all competitions.
He has been mainly used as a fullback which led to the player reportedly informing the club of his wish to leave after his contract expires in the summer.
However, according to Arriyadiyah, Al-Nassr have managed to convince Yahia to stay after all following their latest proposal.
With a new four-year contract, Yahia is set to play an important role at the club as he reportedly signed the deal until 2028.
More depth
The Middle Eastern outfit have been on the lookout for a new left-back this month with Al-Shabab’s Moteb Al-Harbi being at the top of their list of transfer targets.
Despite that, it seems Al-Nassr remain confident in Yahia who can play as a left-back and can serve as back-up to Sadio Mane, Otavio, and Anderson Talisca upfront.
Additionally, they recently signed Melbourne City defender Aziz Behich on a six-month loan deal as he was registered in their foreign list in place of the departing Seko Fofana.
