Kostas Fortounis to depart Al-Khaleej at the end of the season

Greek midfielder Kostas Fortounis has decided not to renew his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Khaleej. The 33-year-old player, who joined the club in 2024, cited personal and family reasons for his desire to return to Greece. Despite efforts by the club management to persuade him to stay, the player has maintained his decision to leave when his contract expires at the end of the current season. During his tenure at the club based in Saihat, Fortounis recorded 53 appearances and scored 19 goals. Reports indicate that Olympiacos is considered a primary candidate for his next destination upon his return to Greece. While official confirmation of a new contract with another club is pending, multiple sources align on the certainty of his departure from the Saudi Pro League.
