Khephren #Thuram is not tempted in joining #AlAhli, despite a huge bid received. The french midfielder had turned down the approaches from the Saudi Clubs last year. He would like to stay at #Juventus. If #Juve decide to sell him, KT would like to sign for a Premier League’s club
Matthias #Jaissle has a release clause of €5M to leave #AlAhli. His contract expires in 2027 (€11M/year). #ACMilan have shown interest and talked with him this week (positive approaches), but #Milan are not intending to pay a release clause. #transfers
There is no chance that #Jaissle will leave #AlAhli to become Milan’s new manager. His contract includes a clause stating that if either Jaissle or Al Ahli were to terminate the agreement, they would have to compensate the other party for the full remaining salary.
