Al-Ahli have put an end to the speculation surrounding the future of their striker Firas Al-Buraikan. Reports had been circulating in recent days claiming that the player's contract included a specific clause allowing him to depart for any club for a set, fixed price.

These rumours had caused significant concern among the club's supporters, given Al-Buraikan's status as a central pillar of the team's attack. His ability to perform across multiple roles makes him a vital asset for the club's long-term project.

According to the Saudi newspaper 'Arriyadiyah', Al-Ahli's management have firmly rejected these claims, confirming that there is no such penalty clause in the player's deal. They maintain that the striker is a core part of their squad and they have no intention of letting him leave.

The club has confirmed that Al-Buraikan is set to remain at Al-Ahli until his current contract expires in the summer of 2028. Both the management and the coaching staff are fully behind him, viewing him as one of the most important players to rely on during the next phase of the team's development following the departure of several prominent names.
