Doha: QNB Stars League side Al Sadd SC yesterday said it will take legal action against Abdelkarim Hassan after the defender joined Al Jahra SC of the Kuwait Premier League.
The club said, in a statement posted on their website, that Hassan had“unilaterally early terminated his employment contract with Al Sadd FC without any just cause and/or valid reason.”
The statement added:“Al Sadd FC has therefore already given mandate to their lawyers to take all the relevant legal actions against the player/Abdul Karim Hassan and any third club for protecting their own image and interests.”
Al Sadd had in a tweet on December 21 announced that Hassan was 'excluded from the team permanently'.
Hassan, the 2018 Asian Footballer of the Year, has reportedly signed a one-year contract with Kuwait's Al Jahra as the club unveiled him last week. The 29-year-old has found himself in hot waters after the FIFA World Cup, with the Qatar Football Association earlier this month suspending him indefinitely and also deducting 50 percent of his salary besides a fine of QR200,000.
