No-Comment, All in: Al Nassr Boss Dismisses Hamdan Transfer Talks
Al Nassr chief clears the air on Hamdan transfer links amid Saudi Pro League chatter.

Rumor Clarified

Abdullah Al-Majed, president of Al Nassr, spoke to clear up recent rumors about negotiations to sign Abdullah Hamdan, the Al Hilal striker.

What the Club Actually Says

Hamdan's Hilal contract runs until season's end, and rumors linked him to a move to the rival, either a free transfer or a purchase of the remaining terms by the 'global' club.

Al-Majed explained on a podcast on the channel Thamaniya that no official approach had been received by the club at the time.

He said, "As a fan I’m excited about good players, but as president I rely on the technical staff and the sports committee; if a signing is made, we will support it and then be accountable at season’s end."

He added, "In my view, we don't need him now; our primary need is a center-back."

Punchlines: If rumors paid rent, this one would own a stadium. Also, the transfer window just opened, apparently.
