Former Man United Prospect Draws Interest from Al-Tai in Saudi Arabia
A former prospect of Manchester United is now on the radar of Saudi Arabian club Al-Tai. The player’s current team is actively considering the move as they aim to secure a center-back and a midfielder for their squad. Although the player has three years left on his existing contract, the possibility of his departure is being explored. With the Saudi Arabian transfer window staying open until September 20, there is ample time for negotiations.
Al-Tai’s Interest and Player’s Background
Reports from Mundo Deportivo indicate that Al-Tai is eyeing a deal with Adnan Januzaj, a winger from Sevilla. Januzaj, who previously played for Manchester United, spent part of the past season with Istanbul Basaksehir and seems to be on uncertain ground at Sevilla. Beginning his professional journey with Manchester United’s youth setup, Januzaj showcased promise during his early days, even netting four goals in the 2013-14 Premier League season.
Ups and Downs of Januzaj’s Career
Januzaj’s trajectory wasn’t without its ups and downs. He faced challenges in maintaining his performance consistency, leading to loan stints with Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland. Eventually, he moved to Real Sociedad in 2017. His time with Sociedad saw him secure a Copa del Rey victory in 2020, followed by a transition to Sevilla in 2022. Unfortunately, his appearances for Sevilla have been limited, amounting to only six matches.
The Possible Move and Future Prospects
Given Januzaj’s situation at Sevilla, the potential for his departure is growing. Although he joined the team just last year, his scarce appearances raise questions about his role within the squad. The upcoming weeks will be crucial as the transfer window unfolds, offering a glimpse of whether Januzaj’s journey could lead to Saudi Arabia. With the focus on securing a center-back and midfielder, his departure could indeed become a reality.
