Sani Suleiman joins Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah after short Leipzig stint

Sani Suleiman, the 20‑year‑old former Flying Eagles winger, has signed for Saudi Pro League club Al‑Qadsiah, DAILY POST reports on September 9, 2026. He arrived at Al‑Qadsiah after a six‑month spell with Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, where he failed to make a competitive appearance and struggled with fitness.

Suleiman moved to Leipzig in January 2026 from Slovakian outfit AS Trenčín, where he scored five goals in 34 league appearances after joining them in 2024 following an impressive stint with Nigeria National League side Akwa United. He was also part of Nigeria’s U‑20 team at the 2025 FIFA World Cup.

The transfer represents a new step in Suleiman’s career after limited opportunities in Europe. For Nigerian fans, it highlights the pathway from local leagues to Europe and then to Asian markets, while also reminding that adapting abroad requires both talent and fitness.

Will Suleiman secure regular playing time at Al‑Qadsiah and revive his career, or will he face similar hurdles as he did in Germany?
