Saudi club Al-Qadsiah to sign former Flying Eagles winger

Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah are closing in on the signing of Nigerian winger Sani Suleiman from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

According to transfer expert Rudi Galetti, Al-Qadsiah has agreed a full deal with Leipzig worth between €9 million and €10 million, including bonuses.

Negotiations over personal terms are still ongoing with Suleiman, but there is growing confidence that a deal will soon be reached.

English Championship side West Ham United also showed strong interest in the highly-rated winger, but Al-Qadsiah acted quickly to advance negotiations with Leipzig.

Suleiman joined Leipzig from Slovak side AS Trenčín in January after impressing during his time at the club.

The 19-year-old recorded five goals and five assists in 50 appearances in all competitions for Trenčín.

However, he has struggled to establish himself at Leipzig and is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Bundesliga club as injuries hamper his progress.

At international level, Suleiman was part of Nigeria’s Flying Eagles team at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

A move to Al-Qadsiah would offer the youngster the opportunity to secure regular playing time and continue his development at senior level.
