Saud Abdulhamid was proposed to Trabzonspor, but the club's coach reportedly had doubts about his fit within their playing system. His name also came up in discussions with Besiktas, another leading Turkish club, where their coach is said to have shared similar reservations. These hesitations from the Turkish clubs appear to have given Tolosa the advantage, putting them in the lead to secure his services. Despite the interest from Trabzonspor and Besiktas, Abdulhamid's future seems more likely to be in Ligue 1 with Tolosa, as he aims to stay in Europe and find a club that can offer him both playing time and trust.
