Al-Ittihad in Talks to Transfer Serbian Defender Simic to Espanyol

According to Saudi Sports TV, Al-Ittihad Club management has begun preliminary negotiations with Spanish club RCD Espanyol regarding the transfer of Serbian defender Jan-Carl Simic. The deal could be a permanent transfer or a loan. Al-Ittihad is restructuring its squad for the new season, aiming to reduce the number of foreign players to better align with coaching staff needs. The transfer is contingent on the player's consent. Simic joined Al-Ittihad last summer on a contract until 2029 to bolster defensive options for the first team and U21 squad. Since joining, he has made 15 appearances across all competitions, totaling 1,166 minutes, receiving two yellow cards and scoring no goals.
