Reports Ahmed Khatir to join Saudi team
After a good spell with SK Beveren in the Belgian second division, Moroccan defender Ahmed Khatir has signed a two-year deal with Al Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, a new experience that will surely increase his experience in the years to come.
A graduate of the Académi Mohammed VI Academy, the player signed a three-year contract with SK Beveren two years ago for a fee of €500,000, a figure that reflects the great potential of the promising Moroccan.
At just 21 years old, Ahmed Khatir is ready to take his burgeoning career to new heights. The young Moroccan defender, currently valued at €300,000 by Transfermarkt, is poised for a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia’s top flight, where Al-Riyadh SC sees him as the perfect reinforcement for their backline.
Khatir’s journey is a testament to his resilience and the elite training he received at the prestigious Mohammed VI Academy—one of Africa’s finest football incubators. Known for producing top-tier talent capable of excelling abroad, the academy has once again proven its ability to shape players who can represent Moroccan football on the global stage.
With European experience already under his belt, Khatir now faces an exciting new chapter. Will he thrive under the spotlight of the Saudi Pro League? One thing is certain: his story is just beginning.
