Former Croatian International Leaves Europe for Multi-Million Dollar Deal in Saudi Arabia

Croatian international defender Tin Jedvaj is reportedly leaving Greek club Panathinaikos after three seasons to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab on a lucrative contract. The 30-year-old defender has reportedly finalized terms with his new club and is currently in Austria, where Al-Shabab is preparing for the upcoming season.

Panathinaikos is undergoing a significant squad reconstruction, which includes moving on players with high contracts. Jedvaj, who made 95 appearances for the Athens-based club over the past three years, fits this category. This move marks Jedvaj's second stint outside of Europe, having previously played for Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates before joining Panathinaikos.

Jedvaj is a former Croatian national team player, earning 26 caps for the Vatreni. He was part of the squad that secured the silver medal at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. His career began at Dinamo Zagreb, which sold him to AS Roma in 2013 for five million euros. He has since had spells with Bayer Leverkusen, Augsburg, and Lokomotiv Moscow.
