The transfer of Gustavo Sa to AL Ittihad has reportedly reached a breakthrough stage after Famalicao gave the green light to the move and accepted a formal offer. While personal terms and contract length are yet to be agreed - it is looking increasingly likely that the interested team is about to get one of their top transfer targets signed and sealed. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, AL Ittihad look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. So far this season, AL Ittihad are steady at both ends (1.83 goals scored per game, 1.28 goals conceded per game). The role for Gustavo Sa would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. AL Ittihad have recently been linked with George Ilenikhena, Chancel Mbemba and Youssef En-Nesyri while Famalicao have had no rumoured targets. Looking for AL Ittihad transfer rumours?
