Atlético Mineiro Clarifies Its Position on Renan Lodi's Case with Al Hilal
The management of Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro commented on the controversy surrounding left-back Renan Lodi's case with his former club, Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, following his official transfer to the Brazilian team during the summer transfer window.
Atlético Mineiro announced the signing of Renan Lodi on a free transfer after the player unilaterally terminated his contract with Al Hilal, even though his contract with the Saudi club was set to run until June 2027.
A senior official within Atlético Mineiro confirmed, in statements reported by Al-Riyadiyah newspaper, that the management handled the Lodi deal with great calm and caution, noting that the club thoroughly examined all legal aspects before finalizing the contract with the player.
The source explained that the club's legal department has verified all the details and documents related to the case file, emphasizing at the same time that Atlético Mineiro does not feel any concern about its legal position, despite Al Hilal club's appeal to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) to take the necessary measures to protect its rights in the case, which is currently under review by FIFA.
