Former Manchester United superstar Jesse Lingard looks set to join Al-Ettifaq in Jan 2024. As Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted, “Al Ettifaq set to offer Jesse Lingard a pre-contract for 2024 as their squad is full until January. Gerrard wants to sign Lingard; he trained at top level in Saudi. Henderson and Wijnaldum also pushing for him to sign. Final decision will be up to Lingard soon.” Lingard joined Steven Gerrard’s side on a training contract last month. He will be keen to reunite with his England International teammate Jordan Henderson, the Al-Ettifaq captain.

Lingard has been without a club after leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer. Only eight foreign players in the match-day squad will be included per the SPL rules. Al-Ittifaq has ten foreign players and will look to eliminate some players to make room for Lingard. Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum are pushing the club to sign the superstar on a free transfer. However, it is up to Lingard to accept or refuse the massive proposal.
