A remarkable statement by the president of Al-Tai Club, Turki Al-Dabaan, in which he indicated that he had received an offer from one of the players’ agents to complete the deal in return for giving him a 5% commission. I do not know what action Mr. Al-Dabaan took against this agent, but if he did not report the incident to the competent sports authority, then his statement In a TV program, this party must open an investigation and ask it about the details of the incident and the name of the agent, because one of its tasks is to protect the integrity of the sport and punish the violators of the regulations!
The truth is that brokerage in contracts of professional players is not new and stories have been rumored about it since the beginning of professionalism, but what is new is the president of a club acknowledging that he was subject to brokering, and it would be sad if he practiced silence regarding this attempt, so reporting violations is a duty, and the action of the competent authority in the sports institution in light of this The statement is more obligatory!
Perhaps part of the problem of the accumulation of club debts results from the increase in the value of deals when they are concluded and the penalties of cases when they are terminated. Clubs and take care of the sums of professional deals!
As for club members who benefit from brokerage, they practice breach of trust and deserve the most severe penalties!
In short, the statement of the head of Al-Taie should not go unnoticed, and revealing the hidden brokerage in the clubs is one of the recipes for treating the accumulation and inflation of its debts!
