With multiple reliable sources reporting that an agreement has been reached with Everton, AL Riyadh have opened formal talks with Idrissa Gueye over personal terms. The midfielder is said to be keen on the move, though full details of the contract are still being worked through. Negotiations are active, and the next 24-48 hours could prove decisive in closing the deal - with optimism growing that he will be a AL Riyadh player before too long. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, AL Riyadh are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. In season 25/26, AL Riyadh are conceding 1.88 goals per game (45 in 24 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Idrissa Gueye would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Everton have recently been linked with Jacob Murphy while AL Riyadh have had no rumoured targets.
