Al Ahli's ambition to sign Vinicius Junior was significant, accounting for the world-record 500m bid, but it ultimately faced rejection and negotiation setbacks.
Director Khaled Al Issa revealed that Al Ahli's strategy shifted from pursuing Vinicius Junior to signing a striker due to unexpected player departures, such as Firas Al Buraikan.
The inability to finalize the deal for Vinicius prompted Al Ahli to look elsewhere, culminating in the acquisition of Ivan Toney from Brentford as a priority.
Despite the challenges in acquiring a winger like Vinicius, Al Issa committed to strengthening the team and acknowledged the need for major signings for the fans.
