French media "Team News", Saudi United has adjusted its transfer strategy and set its target recruitment more on young players.

Rookies like Zeze, Abray, and Cone were likely to choose Lyon or Marseille as their next stop and make their mark in the Champions League. But the situation is different now. These new stars under 20 years old have chosen to join Saudi United's new team, New Future City Sports.

Since 2023, Saudi teams have recruited soldiers in the transfer market, but the age of the signing players has gradually changed. Saudi teams now often sign very young players because a club can only have up to 10 foreign players, of which 8 can sign up to participate in the Saudi professional league, but two additional U21 foreign players can be introduced without occupying foreign players.
