Oumar Gonzalez will stay at Al Rae: What are the details?

The Camerounian international defender has surprisingly committed to staying with Al Raed despite their recent relegation to Saudi Arabia's second tier. After his contract expired at season's end, the 27-year-old Douala native attracted significant interest from multiple clubs across Saudi Arabia and Europe following his impressive 60+ appearances over two Saudi Pro League campaigns.

After extended negotiations, Gonzalez ultimately prioritized continuity over new challenges. He has already joined his teammates in Turkey for preseason preparations, where the €1.5 million-rated center-back aims to help guide Al Raed back to the top flight. The decision comes as Gonzalez continues establishing himself with Cameroon's national team, with the coming weeks potentially shaping the next phase of his career.
