National soccer team goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu was delayed in wages by his team.
The problem of Saudi Arabian professional league clubs has broken out.
Saudi media 'Aliyadhya' reported on the 4th (Korea Standard Time) that Saudi professional league club Al-Shabaab failed to pay the team's salary for three months due to a serious financial crisis.
The media said, "Al-Shabaab was in a financial crisis and the first-team players did not participate in the training, protesting the three-month overdue salary payment. The first-team squad refused to participate in the three-day training as management delayed the payment of unpaid salaries."
"Saudi foreign players expressed dissatisfaction with the three-month overdue salary, despite Mohamed Almanzam's promise to pay the salary. The players went to the secretariat and missed the training as a protest because management did not fulfill their promises," he explained.
Furthermore, the media said, "Chairman Mohammed Almanzam recently promised to pay the team three-day salary, but it became more serious during the crisis because he did not keep it. The club needs about 40 million riyals (about 15.9 billion won) to pay the salaries of the team as well as the staff and secretariat staff."
Al-Shabaab was founded in 1947 and has a history of 78 years. Currently, Pavel Nedved, a Czech legend and the hero of the 2003 Ballon d'Or, is the head of the club. The captain is Yannick Carrasco, who played for Atletico Madrid.
The club also has ties with Korean players. Song Jong-guk (2010-2011), Kwak Tae-hwi (2012), and Park Chu-young (2014-2015) have played for al-Shabaab.
In the summer of 2022, Kim Seung-gyu entered the Saudi professional league by signing a three-year contract with Al-Shabaab, and he has played in 64 games so far. 바카라
Kim Seung-gyu, who ranked fourth in the league with only 34 runs in 31 league games in his first season, 2022-2023 season, was ruled out for the season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament during training at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup in the middle of his second season.
After sustaining a serious injury, Kim returned to the team in August last year after rehabilitation. Two months later, however, he was replaced by knee pain during a league game and suffered a terrible injury when he ruptured a cruciate ligament in his right knee that he injured during the Asian Cup.
On the other hand, Saudi clubs' overdue wages are the same practice that has happened before.
Lee Chun-soo played for al-Nasr for one season back in 2009. He played 16 matches at the time, scoring three goals and one assist. He joined the club in August of that year, and left the team after March of the following year.
He talked about the story two years ago on his YouTube channel. "Saudi Arabia can't give money every month. The prince is the owner of the club and then the president is the owner, but he can't tell the owner for money," he said. "I can't talk about overdue wages. I used to be like that."
"Originally, the FIFA rules gave me the right to transfer if I don't get paid for more than three months, which is why I came out. I was pushed back by three months," he said.
Lee said, "I don't know financially. The prince came and told me that there were 500 cars, airplanes and a villa in Spain, but he didn't seem to know what to do with the delayed payment of wages. At that time, we had a lot of meetings with foreign players. I talked a lot in Spanish, but he couldn't ask me for money."
"I asked the Saudi player, 'Tell him some money,' and he said, 'Only God knows when to give money,' and he called me 'Inshala.' Whenever I did something, the representative came and said, 'Inshala.' So I sent a notice of termination of contract and handed it over. I received the money after filing a complaint with FIFA. FIFA is quick to respond to Saudi Arabia. There are many cases like this. There are so many cases like this in Saudi Arabia."
Lee said, "When I give money, I give it to cash. If you are busy putting it in the bank, you give it to me in cash. I give you allowances in cash. I don't get paid, but I don't know that, but if I win a rival match against Al-Hilal, I will give you 50 million won."
