Al Wakrah need five players: club official

Al Wakrah club management seeks to resolve all of the contracts in the coming days, including new signings and the decision on the foreign training camp.
In terms of player contracts, the management has decided to extend the contract of defender Mohamed Arafa for two more seasons, while other players, including Mohamed al-Sulaiti, will be renewing their contracts too, according to Abdullah Saqr, the club’s deputy head of Football.
The deputy head of football also praised Arafa, who came up with some great performances over the last season, where he was one of the main pillars of the team, and wished him and all the players luck.
Saqr commented on the possibility of Al Wakrah signing some new players after a few names were linked with the club. “Certainly we are moving in this direction, in co-ordination with the coaching staff, led by Uruguayan coach Mauricio Larriera, but at the same time we have not signed any new players so far,” Saqr said.
Regarding the needs of Al Wakrah in terms of new talent, he continued, “I see that Al Wakrah need five local players to strengthen the ranks for the new season, which will be harder and more difficult for all the teams, and we look forward to playing at a better level than we did in the last season.”
Saqr added that talks are underway to renew the contract of their top scorer, Sasha. While the club has made the final offer, the player has not yet reached an agreement with the team.
