Adli returned to Milan in June after a one-season loan spell at Fiorentina.

He had joined the Rossoneri in an €9m deal from French side Bordeaux in 2021 and made 56 appearances in Serie A, scoring five goals and providing eight assists with Milan and Fiorentina.

Al Shabab had hired Serie A legend and ex-Juventus star and director Pavel Nedved as their new sporting director earlier in January.
