Saudi press reports revealed the truth about the departure of international striker Firas Al-Buraikan from Al-Ahli team ranks during the current summer transfer period.
Al-Buraikan had moved to the Al-Ahli ranks in the summer of 2023 after activating the penalty clause, as the player's contract extends until the summer of 2028.
According to the Saudi newspaper "Al-Riyadiya", the Al-Ahli club administration is insisting on Al-Buraikan staying, and there is no intention for his departure during the current summer.
The source added to the Saudi newspaper that Firas Al-Buraikan is an important part of Al-Ahli club's project, and that all that is being circulated about his departure is incorrect.
The source denied the existence of any penalty clause that allows Al-Buraikan to leave Al-Ahli club, according to what the newspaper reported.
Since joining Al-Ahli ranks, Al-Buraikan has played 127 matches in various competitions, where he managed to score 30 goals, in addition to providing 17 decisive passes.
Al-Buraikan was able to contribute to Al-Ahli team's winning the AFC Champions League Elite title in the last two editions, in addition to winning the Saudi Super Cup title last season, at the expense of Al-Nassr.
