🔄 Controversial Transfer

His 2005 move from Al-Hilal to rivals Al-Ittihad stirred major controversy.

 

He publicly rejected a SAR 3 million offer from Al-Hilal (offered in cash during a press event) and instead signed with Al-Ittihad for SAR 4.5 million.

 

The Saudi Football Federation at the time appraised the deal at only SAR 1.6 million, causing outrage over lost compensation for Al-Hilal.

 

This incident led to reforms in Saudi transfer regulations to protect former clubs' rights.

 

🔫 Shooting Incident

In 2006, he was shot by an unknown assailant who entered his home in Jeddah and fired a gun.

 

The bullet hit his hand; he resisted the attacker and later drove himself to a nearby hospital before being transferred to the Saudi German Hospital for surgery.

 

Authorities opened an investigation, but the attacker was unknown and fled the scene.

 

🇪🇺 Short European Experience

Signed with Willebroek in Belgium before returning in 2009 to join Al-Nassr, where he played until 2011.

 

📌 Final Statements

After his contract with Al-Nassr ended in mid-2011, he announced receiving several offers from Saudi and Gulf clubs and expressed preference for a Gulf club due to the peace of mind he experienced in his previous international stint.
