The future of Neil El Aynaoui could heat up before the transfer window closes. According to La Repubblica, several teams from the Saudi Pro League are interested in the Moroccan international, for whom AS Roma has set a price of €35 million.
The identity of the interested parties has not been revealed. The Italian daily does not specify whether Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, or another club is behind this interest. No contact or negotiations with any of these teams have been confirmed at this stage.
A potential sale would allow the Giallorossi to increase their maneuvering room in the market, as their investments remain constrained by UEFA’s economic regulations. Signed from RC Lens for around €25 million during the summer of 2025 and contracted until June 2030, the Atlas Lion could bring an estimated accounting profit of at least €15 million.
No official offer has been announced yet, and a departure does not appear imminent. However, the situation could evolve quickly if one of the interested clubs agrees to meet Roma’s financial demands.
