Scout report
Riyadh Sharahili is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Damac, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 46% of Pro League central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.5, ranking 87th of 101 in the Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (47.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sharahili.
Judged on this season alone, Sharahili graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.27 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 23rd of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 33 Sharahili is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Damac finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.5, Sharahili carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 26, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Damac finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
