Al Ahli is exploring several options to reinforce its midfield and is very interested in Villarreal's Pape Gueye. The 27-year-old Senegalese international, who was named African Player of the Year in LaLiga this past season, is currently under contract with the Spanish club until June 30, 2028. For a potential transfer to occur, Al Ahli needs to reach an agreement with Villarreal.
