He continued: “Al-Ahly rejected the first offer, and Al-Hazm returned with a new offer for an amount ranging from $650,000 to $700,000.”

He added: “The financial compensation The offer offered to Kahraba is also weak, and the player was waiting for Al-Ahly’s position to negotiate his salary with Al-Hazm management.”
