Official: Atletico Madrid sign Obed Vargas from Seattle Sounders
The transfer process involving Al Ittihad Club, N'Golo Kanté and Youssef En-Nesyri has been carried out meticulously by our club in all respects, as planned.
In line with the request of our technical staff, agreements were reached with the players; the medical examinations of the players to be transferred were completed, the necessary approvals were obtained, and our club fulfilled all its obligations in full and on time. The documents related to the transfer registration were uploaded to the system correctly and completely within the specified time frame.
However, due to the incorrect entry of the relevant TMS information by the opposing club, the procedures could not be completed within the transfer registration period independently of our club. Accordingly, an extension was requested, the necessary discussions were held by our club with FIFA, and all steps were taken to resolve the process. Despite this, the opposing club failed to complete the procedures without providing any justification to us during the ongoing process.
As a result of these developments, the transfer process in question has unfortunately not been finalised.
We understand and share the disappointment this process has caused within our community.
Our club continues to build its squad with the same determination and discipline in line with its sporting objectives.
