Saudi Arabia's Interest in Signing Stoke City Forward
• The initial approach has been made, and negotiations will progress over time
• A possible departure for the player was already anticipated
By Oscar Cortes
In this transfer window, The Potters are not only making signings but also considering possible departures. It appears that a team from Saudi Arabia is keen on signing the Stoke City forward.
Journalist Loïc Tanzi has confirmed that Al-Kholood, an Arab team, is highly interested in signing one of Stoke City's starting forwards. This could be beneficial for the club, as selling the player for a good price would allow them to focus on finding a goal-scoring forward in the market.

Closer to a Possible Move to Arab Football
The player in question is Ryan Mmaee, who plays for the Moroccan national team. He has caught the eye of the Arab team and is seen as a potential key player in the Saudi league.
So far, it has only been confirmed that there has been contact between the clubs inquiring about the player, but no further information is available. This strongly indicates that the player's departure is likely, as mentioned in our previous article about possible exits. Mmaee is a potential candidate to leave this summer.

In 28 matches this season, he has only managed to score 4 goals and provide 4 assists. For The Potters, having a forward who can score is crucial, and they will need to find one in this transfer window, making Ryan's departure seem imminent.
His profile in the team didn't quite fit, and his goal-scoring projection isn't sufficient for what The Potters need. The focus is on being as competitive as possible to contend for the Premier League next season.
