The news for him has been different so far. Mario Mitaj was expected to be discussed for a move to England, perhaps to Bournemouth, but the situation at Al Ittihad is different.
The daily "Al Rijad" writes that the Albanian national team defender has requested guarantees to continue at the club.
What is this guarantee?
Mitaj has spoken with the management and stated that he wants to be a permanent starter in the team, otherwise he will ask to leave.
A somewhat surprising request, because the 21-year-old has been a starter in 18 of the 18 matches he has played in the Saudi Professional League, that is, in all of them.
However, the Arab newspaper emphasizes something, namely that the club's leaders have doubts about the physical guarantees of the Albanian, who was injured several times last season, and missed 12 matches in the championship for this reason.
Mitaj has a contract with Al Ittihad until 2028, so it will not be easy for him to change teams, at a time when Saudi media are writing that there is still no official offer for him.
What is important is the fact that coach Laurent Blanc highly values him and wants him on the team.
In the sports year that ended a few weeks ago, the national team defender won the championship title as well as the King's Cup, scored a goal and provided 2 assists, and was one of Al Ittihad's most valued players.
