The Saudi Arabian Football Federation closed the summer registration period on Wednesday evening, which lasted about 70 days, during which Saudi clubs concluded more than 198 official deals, as announced by the Saudi Professional League.
Al-Najma club topped the newly promoted to the Saudi Roshn League, the scene by concluding 20 new deals, followed by Al-Riyadh and Damac with 16 deals each, then Al-Shabab with 13 deals, while Al-Ittihad and NEOM concluded 12 deals each, according to what was published by “Al-Eqtisadiah” newspaper.
Saudi press reports revealed that the summer transfer market faced a major crisis, represented by the failure to complete a sensational deal that the sports community was waiting for, which sparked a lot of controversy.
According to the “Transfermarkt” website, the market value of the Roshn League rose at the end of the registration period to reach 1.14 billion euros, in a clear indication of the increasing strength of the tournament at the continental and international levels.
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation, in coordination with the Saudi Professional League, approved the new dates for the two registration periods for the 2025-2026 sports season, where the summer period started from July 3 to September 10, 2025, while the winter transfer window will start on January 5, 2026 and continue until February 2.
