Al-Ahli make final decision to keep Enzo Millot for 2026-27 season
Al-Ahli have decided to retain French midfielder Enzo Millot and reject all offers for his departure during the current summer transfer window.
The club’s sporting administration has reached what Saudi newspaper Al-Midan Al-Riyadi described as a “final and not open to discussion” decision to keep Millot, bringing negotiations over a possible transfer to an end.
The move reflects Al-Ahli’s confidence in the midfielder’s ability and the importance the club believes he will have in its plans for the 2026-27 season.
Millot’s future had been the subject of speculation, but Al-Ahli have now made clear that he will remain part of the squad as the club prepares for the new campaign. The decision followed a detailed technical assessment of his performances since joining the team.
The midfielder has become one of the players the coaching staff are relying on for the season ahead. Al-Ahli believe his contribution in recent matches has demonstrated why he is considered an important part of their plans.
Millot has provided influence in central midfield through both his creativity and his ability to link the different areas of the team. His performances have earned him strong praise from both the technical staff and the club’s administration.
According to Al-Midan Al-Riyadi, Al-Ahli consider that allowing the France international to leave at this stage would create a significant technical gap that would be difficult to fill.
The decision to keep Millot comes as Al-Ahli remain active in the summer transfer market. The club have completed more than one strengthening deal in recent days, with their recruitment work guided by a plan to build a competitive team capable of challenging for all available honours.
Al-Ahli’s current transfer strategy is based on two priorities. The first is to bring in high-quality new players, while the second is to preserve the core of the existing squad and avoid losing influential members of the team.
Millot is regarded as one of those key players. His retention is therefore being treated as an important part of the club’s wider approach to the transfer window, rather than as an isolated decision concerning one member of the squad.
By confirming that the midfielder will stay, Al-Ahli have ended the uncertainty surrounding his future. The club have effectively ruled out his departure this summer and established that Enzo Millot will be part of their project for the 2026-27 season.
