A 38-year-old European football veteran’s reported lucrative contract with a Saudi club worth about £85 million is terminated, according to reports.
The player previously joined the Saudi Pro League club on a free transfer from another Saudi club, Al-Ittihad. Sources also say he had signed for Al-Ittihad in 2023 after an earlier stint with Real Madrid.
The available accounts focus mainly on the financial scale of the reported deal and the fact that it is now being “ripped up” or ended. They do not provide additional detail about the reasons for the termination, any legal or administrative process, or the contract’s final settlement terms. Other context, such as whether a replacement contract is in place or whether the player will return to another league, is not covered in the provided reports.
