Villarreal, Leipzig Trail as Aribo Prefers Saudi Transfer

Joe Aribo is leaning toward a Saudi Pro League move despite interest from Villarreal, RB Leipzig, and Besiktas in the closing weeks of the transfer window

Joe Aribo has set his sights on a transfer to Saudi Arabia as he enters the final year of his Southampton contract — www.isagoal.com reports.

Reports confirm that the midfielder has told club officials he wants a fresh challenge before the window closes.

The Saints are prepared to let him go if their asking price is met.

Aribo’s absence from Southampton’s season opener and limited pre-season minutes suggest he is not in Will Still’s core plans.

Villarreal, RB Leipzig, and Besiktas have all been linked but remain behind in the chase.

“Saudi Arabia offers him a chance to secure one last big contract,” a source close to the player revealed.

Since joining from Rangers in 2022, Aribo has scored nine goals and provided one assist in 104 matches.

His next move is expected to be decided in the coming days.
