Al-Humaidi pointed out that Mohammed Al-Owais, the goalkeeper of Al-Hilal, is among the potential options for Al-Ittihad, but reports about ongoing negotiations are not accurate so far.
Al-Owais, who is nearing the end of his contract, has received several offers and insists on being the starting goalkeeper for any new team, which could complicate his transfer to Al-Ittihad.
Raikovic’s injury prompted the Al-Ittihad management to consider signing a new goalkeeper, and several foreign goalkeeper names have been discussed in recent days.
The sports director of Al-Ittihad, Ramon Planas, still trusts Raikovic’s abilities and expects his return soon, which may change the management’s approach in the summer transfer market.
