Al-Ittihad club responded in an unofficial way to the victory statement accusing him of negotiating with Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah before entering the free period during which he is allowed to negotiate.
Al-Nasr had terminated Hamdallah’s contract last November for legal reasons that guarantee him his financial rights. After that, the player joined the federation in a free transfer deal. Attempts to end the dispute between the two parties amicably did not succeed, so he resorted to the competent authorities.

Recent days have witnessed remarkable developments in the case between the two parties, as an audio leak attributed to Hamdallah and Al-Balawi appeared one day before the Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad match in the first leg of the Saudi League. The Nasrawis took advantage of this recording and opened fire on the Moroccan star, accusing him of deliberately wasting opportunities and penalty kicks.
Al-Nasrawi media demanded an investigation into this audio leak, while the federalists questioned its authenticity and confirmed that it was fabricated, and the surprise was yesterday when Al-Nasr issued a statement in which he confirmed his possession of audio recordings between the two men and revealed that he submitted them with his complaint once morest the player and the federal official to the Professional Committee at the end of last March.
Al-Farraj confirmed that he contacted a number of federation officials to obtain any comment from the club on the victory statement, or even the statement of the Football Association, during which he stressed his lack of competence to respond to the victory complaint, or to clarify what was stated in it of a clear accusation once morest them of violating the laws and inciting Hamdallah to Departure from the capital towards Jeddah.
The veteran journalist explained that the federalists refused to respond to the statement under the pretext of their focus on resolving the Saudi League title in their favour, as he quoted an official in the board of directors as saying, “They told us a text: “In Arabic, we are not empty. His Highness, the Minister of Sports, and the generous support provided by the state, may God protect him, is for work and achievements, not for statements and lamentations. On May 29, we will respond to everything, God willing, “the quotation ends.”
It is noteworthy that Al-Nassr included Hamdallah from the Qatari league in the summer of 2018, and the player starred with him and led him to achieve the league title in the 2018-2019 season and achieved a historical record for the number of goals in one season in the history of the professional league.
The player was crowned top scorer in the Saudi League in the following season, but his level began to decline and his problems began to increase later, until he ended up terminating his contract by the club for reasons that were not officially announced, but it was said that they were behavioral and disciplinary.
