Heba Press – Sports
Adel Hala, president of Raja Sports Club, has revealed details of the sudden departure of goalkeeper Anas Zeniti, after his contract was terminated by mutual consent during the ongoing winter transfer period.
Unpaid receivables and old debts
Hala explained, during his hosting of the program “Bonbonera” on Radio Dozim, that the club had paid all of Zeniti’s contributions for last season, but that he was demanding sums accumulated in previous years, amounting to to 280 million centimes, in addition to the first part of the signing grant for the current season, which brings the total amount to 400 million centimes.
A financial crisis forced the decision
The Raja president confirmed that the club was not able to pay this large sum given the financial crisis it is suffering from, stressing that keeping the player would have required a budget which is not available at present .
A consensual agreement to avoid conflicts
Hala stressed that Raja had two options: either accept Zeniti’s departure amicably, or enter into a new dispute, adding that it was the goalkeeper who initiated the departure proposal, setting his conditions before the management of the club.
The final solution: exemption and schedule of contributions
After intense negotiations, an agreement was reached whereby Zeniti would waive 250 million cents, with the remaining amount set aside, so that the club could pay it without resorting to the disputes commission.
