Sérgio Conceição targets gem also wanted by Sporting | OneFootball

Yassir Zabiri, Famalicão’s forward, is on the radar of Al Ittihad, the Saudi club managed by Sérgio Conceição. The Arab club wants to secure the player – who has also been linked with Sporting – to strengthen their attack and maintain competitiveness in the Saudi Pro League.

According to journalist Gianluigi Longari, the interest in the 20-year-old player comes at a time when Moussa Diaby has been associated with Inter Milan. The departure of the French winger opens up space in the Saudi squad, allowing the club to sign the Moroccan athlete.

The young footballer has had a meteoric rise at the Minho club and has been the squad member whose value has increased the most in recent months. After winning the U-20 World Cup with Morocco, Yassir Zabiri’s valuation soared from 600 thousand to 4 million euros in just a few months.

The forward has impressed with his physical ability, speed, and goal-scoring instinct, qualities that make him an attractive target. Given the high demand for the Maghreb player’s services, the Minho club knows they may be able to prolong negotiations with the various suitors.

This season, wearing Famalicão’s shirt, Yassir Zabiri has played 14 matches: 12 in the Liga Portugal Betclic and two in the Portuguese Cup. In the 755 minutes he has been on the pitch, the striker, who is under contract with the Minho club until June 2028, has scored four goals.
