Al-Ittihad have confirmed the acquisition of Danilo Pereira from Paris Saint-Germain. The midfielder, who frequently played as a centre-back for PSG, has joined the Saudi Pro League in a deal reportedly valued at 5 million.

Pereira's tenure at PSG saw him make 157 appearances across all competitions over four years. During this period, he secured three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, and three Trophee des Champions victories. Despite his contributions, he had not been included in any of Luis Enrique's matchday squads this season.

Last season, Pereira led PSG in blocks with 25 and completed the most passes with 2084. He also recovered possession 128 times, ranking fourth on the team. His defensive skills were crucial to PSG's success during his time there.

Al-Ittihad have also announced the signing of Steven Bergwijn from Ajax for a reported fee of 25 million. The winger joined Ajax in July 2022 and made 80 appearances, scoring 31 goals and providing 41 assists.

Bergwijn's performance at Ajax was notable for his offensive contributions. His ability to score and assist made him a key player for the Dutch club during his tenure.

Bergwijn's move to Al-Ittihad marks another significant addition to their squad. His attacking prowess will be an asset to the team as they aim to strengthen their offensive capabilities.

The signings of Pereira and Bergwijn reflect Al-Ittihad's ambition to enhance their squad with experienced international players. Both players bring valuable skills and experience that will benefit the team in their upcoming matches.

These strategic acquisitions are expected to boost Al-Ittihad's performance in the Saudi Pro League. Fans eagerly anticipate seeing how these new additions will impact the team's dynamics on the field.
