Al-Ettifaq Club of Saudi Arabia received an official notice of contract termination for one of its foreign players within 10 days, a move that could impact the team's lineup in the upcoming period.

Additionally, the club received a final warning from Italian club Roma regarding the outstanding payments for the transfer of player João Costa, increasing the financial pressure on the club's management.

The report indicates that the agreement is still awaiting the receipt of overdue payments from the association and other parties, which may hinder the issuance of the financial competency certificate required for the current season.

The management is striving to settle financial matters urgently to avoid any penalties or restrictions on registering new players during the upcoming transfer window.
