Reactions in England for the transfer of Alain Saint-Maximin from Newcastle to Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia!
As “Athletic” reveals, several Premier League clubs will soon and officially express their strong concern about the transfer of the French winger, which concerns two teams that share the same ownership status.
According to the publication, the respective teams believe that the transfer fees could be presented differently than they actually are, so that Newcastle would benefit and be helped by the rules of Financial Fair Play.
So they are expected to ask the Premier League to fully review the details of the deal and make sure everything is done the right way.
?? A number of clubs will voice concern to PL on proposed Saint-Maximim move to Al Ahli. They say Newcastle using PIF duel ownership to inflate fee & help FFP + want PL to explain ‘market value’ process. #NUFC very comfortable with valuation @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/hB1WNCg8To
