Seydouba Cissé set for Saudi move after Leganés agreement

Seydouba Cissé is set to continue his career in Saudi Arabia after reaching an agreement to join Al-Kholood FC from CD Leganés.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who represents Guinea at international level, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Saudi Pro League side.

The deal is scheduled to come into effect in July 2026, marking a new phase in his professional journey.

Cissé’s move follows his spell in Spain, where he established himself with Leganés. His performances there have paved the way for a transfer that will see him join a league increasingly attracting players from across the global game.

The switch is being viewed as a significant step in the midfielder’s career, offering him the opportunity to bring his style of play to a different environment.

Known for his energy and vision in midfield, Cissé is expected to contribute those qualities as he adapts to the demands of his new club.

His arrival at Al-Kholood places him among a growing number of international footballers making the move to Saudi Arabia, reflecting the league’s ambition to strengthen its profile and competitiveness.

For Cissé, the transfer represents both a challenge and an opportunity, as he prepares to leave European football behind and begin a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League.

The agreement ensures that he will remain with his new club for the next three seasons once the deal becomes official.

Having already demonstrated his abilities in Spain, the Guinean international now looks ahead to establishing himself in a different footballing landscape.
