Transfer Alert: Al Ettifaq Move for Rabie Hrimat Under Threat Amid Administrative Delays

The potential transfer of Moroccan midfielder Rabie Hrimat to Al Ettifaq has entered a period of significant uncertainty. Despite reports of a full agreement being reached between the Saudi Pro League side and the player, the deal has hit an unexpected snag that could see the move collapse in its final stages.

Sources close to Al Ettifaq indicate that while personal terms and a general framework for the transfer were settled, the administrative procedures required to finalize the paperwork have caused a delay. This timeline has reportedly become a point of contention for his current club, AS FAR Rabat. The Moroccan side is reportedly unwilling to wait for Al Ettifaq to navigate these remaining administrative hurdles, leading to a tense standoff between the two organizations regarding the timing of the transaction.

The situation is further complicated by the emergence of rival suitors. Other clubs have reportedly entered the race for Hrimat’s signature, presenting AS FAR Rabat with financial packages that exceed Al Ettifaq’s current offer. Crucially, these new bids are said to include immediate payment terms—a factor that the Moroccan club finds highly preferable compared to the pending process currently faced by the Saudi Pro League representatives.

As it stands, the future of the midfielder remains undecided. The final decision is now in the hands of Rabie Hrimat himself. The player is expected to weigh his options and determine his next destination within the coming hours. For Al Ettifaq to secure their target, they must significantly accelerate their internal procedures to match the pace of the competition and satisfy the requirements set by the selling club. Without immediate action to finalize the administrative steps, the deal risks falling through entirely as the Moroccan club looks toward more immediate financial solutions.
