According to Marca, Al Shabab is pursuing Pathe Ciss. Several clubs from Spain, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia have also inquired about the player's situation, and Rayo Vallecano's management is remaining firm on his transfer fee.

Al-Shabab, which finished sixth in the Saudi Pro League last season, has secured a contractual agreement with Pathé Ciss, a midfielder from Rayo Vallecano. According to sources, the player is keen to leave Spain and move to Saudi Arabia. Ciss is under contract until 2027 with a release clause of 10 million euros. The Saudi transfer window remains open until September 11. The 31-year-old Senegalese international, capped 17 times for his national team, is reportedly eager to join the Saudi club as they aim to strengthen their squad before the transfer deadline. Meanwhile, Celta de Vigo is also said to have shown interest in Ciss, whose market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2 million.
