Al-Ittihad have swooped for Real Betis defender Luiz Felipe.
Betis have accepted a 22m offer from the Saudis for the defender.
Felipe's move was confirmed this morning, though it potentially leaves Betis' squad short.
For the moment, Betis can only work the free agents market to find a replacement.
They accepted the offer as Betis need quick cash to ease Financial Fair Play and registration issues.
