He is one of the longest serving free agents in football history. Having been one since losing his place at Al-Faisalay in 2019.
==Club career== Ghaleb joined the Al-Nassr U-17 team in the summer of 2006. As he was under the scouts' eyes, Al-Nassr U-17 team manager, Nasir AlKanani, succeeded in including Ghaleb in his talent U-17 squad. Not surprisingly, with his accurate passes and mature look in the first year, Ghaleb did not take a long time to get promoted to the first team. His first appearance was in the middle of the 2008/2009 season when the Argentine Edgardo Bauza picked him for the line-up in a match against arch-rival Al Hilal. These kinds of games were considered to be tough for a young 17-year-old player. However, Ghaleb surprised spectators with his talent by keeping control of the ball and making accurate passes. Since then, he has assured his position in the squad.
On 8 March 2010, Ghaleb signed with a couple of other young talented players, the first professional contract in his career with Al-Nassr ending in 2015.<ref>[http://www.alweeam.com/news/news.php?action=show&id=9825 Ibrahim Ghaleb signs a contract for five years (Arabic)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100312084710/http://www.alweeam.com/news/news.php?action=show&id=9825 |date=12 March 2010 }}.</ref>
