The television appearance of Saad Al-Ladhiz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Professional League and Acting CEO, on the Koura program presented by the journalist Turki Al-Ajma on the Rotana Khalijiya channel, sparked widespread controversy in the Saudi sports street, after he spoke about the Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nasr deals, and the clubs’ budgets. And the bond.
In detail, Al-Ladhiz said in his statements: Al-Nasr Club is the only club that negotiated with Cristiano Ronaldo, and that Al-Hilal did not negotiate with him, stressing that Al-Hilal will not be replaced by another star instead of Neymar, who was injured, and that the association does not interfere in club deals. .
Al-Ladhiz added that Al-Ittihad Club signed five new deals, and that there is currently no budget, and that the association will support the dean in the next two seasons, stressing that Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr will not be able to contract during the next two seasons, and that budget information is confidential, and that the upcoming winter transfers in Saudi Arabia. , will be on a very limited scale; Given the budget allocated to the clubs, and the difficulty of international teams giving up their most prominent stars.
Al-Ladhiz stressed that a large number of international players are communicating with those in charge of Saudi sports. To request to join the Roshen Professional League, in the coming period; He said: “Some of the names that refused to come this summer have now changed their minds.”
On the other hand, Anmar Al-Haili, head of the non-profit Saudi Al-Ittihad Club Foundation, Saad Al-Ladhim, conveyed: Responsibility for not fulfilling the dean’s demands during the last summer Mercato.
Al-Haili said in television and press statements: “When I see Al-Nasr attracting Laporte to the defense and Al-Hilal contracting with Koulibaly, I demand the same level of deals, but there is a limited program and budget, and we in Al-Ittihad worked according to the budget set for us. Things are clear to all, the three.” The other clubs got eight players, and Al-Ittihad only got four. Direct your questions to those in charge of the recruitment programme. We had many demands that were not met.”
He continued: We do not have old players with astronomical salaries, who won championships with us, meaning that their CV enables them to transfer, but at the same time I cannot give up a player without replacing him with another. Do you expect that if Mbappe offers me something, I will refuse?!
“Al-Haili” caused the surprise when he said: “We remained silent for the past period, but if the talk was transparent, as Saad Al-Lathez spoke on the Koura program, he is a dear brother and helped us a lot, and we wished to reveal our demands and what happened in the last week of the Mercato regarding our negotiations with Mohamed Salah and the negotiations.” Marquinhos, Gundogan, De Bruyne, and Ramos were all our requests, but they were not contracted!
He continued: “The Union’s negotiations with Liverpool to include Mohamed Salah were continuing, through the recruitment program, and we were told at the end of the negotiations that there was no budget to cover the recruitment of Salah, and therefore the deal failed.”
He added: I asked Saad Al-Ladhiz to give me a full budget last summer, and that the next year would not give me any support, as is the case with Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr. He told me that they would not be able to sign new players in the coming years, until I asked him about the budget of the other clubs, and he replied, “This is secret information!)”.
He explained: “If he was speaking transparently, everyone should have been given the same budget, but this did not happen. We asked for eight players and they said (there is no budget), and I have more details with evidence that I can reveal. If Saad Al-Ladhiz wants it, they say that we have finished our budget on Benzema and Kante? So how much did the Ronaldo deal cost? And also the Neymar and Riyad Mahrez deal? The agencies were announcing all the numbers, and if the federation exceeded the budget of other clubs in recruitment, then I challenge anyone who can prove that.”
