Exclusive: Saudi Al-Ittihad Reveals New Developments in Coca’s Future Amid Transfer Speculation

The future of Egyptian international forward Ahmed Hassan Koka with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq remains uncertain as conflicting reports emerge regarding his contract status and potential departure.

According to a report from Yalla Kora, a source has revealed recent developments concerning Koka’s situation at Al-Ettifaq, though specific details about negotiations or decisions were not disclosed in the initial report. The player joined the Saudi club in the summer of 2023 on a free transfer after departing Olympiacos, signing a contract that runs until the summer of 2026.

Koka, 31, has been a regular contributor for Al-Ettifaq since his arrival, featuring prominently in both league and cup competitions. His technical ability and experience have been cited as valuable assets to the squad, particularly in high-pressure matches.

The report does not confirm whether Al-Ettifaq intends to retain Koka beyond his current contract or if the player is seeking a move elsewhere. No official statement has been issued by either the player or the club regarding his future as of the latest available information.

Al-Ettifaq, based in Dammam, has undergone several squad changes in recent months as part of its ongoing project to strengthen competitiveness in the Saudi Pro League. The club finished the previous season in mid-table and has been active in the transfer market, targeting experienced players to bolster key positions.

Meanwhile, Koka has expressed commitment to giving his best for the club whenever called upon. In past interviews, he has emphasized professionalism and respect for contractual obligations, though he has not ruled out future opportunities depending on sporting and personal considerations.

As the current season progresses, attention will remain on Koka’s role within the team and any potential developments regarding his contract. Until an official announcement is made by Al-Ettifaq or the player’s representatives, his status remains subject to speculation based on ongoing reports.
