Corinthians player Zakaria Labyad refused a lucrative offer from Al Qadsiah for the upcoming summer transfer window. This followed preliminary discussions with his agent, after the Saudi club made initial indirect contact with the player's entourage to explore a potential transfer. The idea was then presented to Labyad to understand his position. Labyad quickly decided not to begin advanced negotiations at this stage. He prioritized sporting stability and technical progression over an immediate move to the Gulf, despite the financial attractiveness of the Saudi project.
