The Saudi Pro League’s summer shopping spree has a new name on the receipt. Eduard Spertsyan, the 25-year-old Armenian attacking midfielder and captain of his national team, is moving from FC Krasnodar to Al Ahli in a deal worth €25 million.

For context, that fee matches Spertsyan’s reported market valuation, meaning Al Ahli paid exactly what Krasnodar asked.

Who is Eduard Spertsyan?

Born June 7, 2000, Spertsyan captains Armenia’s national team, has earned over 25 caps at international level, and operates as an attacking midfielder.

Al Ahli was not alone in this pursuit. Al Nassr and Al Hilal both registered interest in the player since late May 2026.
