Snubbed Jesus and Al Nassr, reveals reason: “Contracts” | OneFootball

In the last transfer market, Al Nassr, which includes former Benfica members, Jorge Jesus and João Félix, failed to sign defender Dávid Hancko, who has since transferred to Atlético Madrid. Following his official announcement, the athlete broke his silence about the possible move to Saudi Arabia.

In statements to the Slovenian press, the former Feyenoord player began by making a comparison of what his salary would be if he had made a different decision: ""If I compare the contracts, I would have to play at Atlético Madrid for 20 years to earn as much”.

However, he didn't stop there and explained that the difference in salaries would be substantial, as the contracts did not have the same number of years: “And I have a five-year contract with them [Atlético Madrid], while with Al Nassr it was only four”.

In conversation with journalists, the Slovenian recalled the moment he received the invitation from Jorge Jesus's team - which has since sold Otávio: “In the summer, the first proposal I had was from Al Nassr. It was incredible! So, we all had to sit down and talk”.

Finally, he revealed that his refusal of Al Nassr's proposal was influenced by the condition of his pregnant wife, stating that he prioritizes her well-being: “On one hand, it was not the ideal place to take my pregnant wife, but she assured me that she would come with me and that we could reach an agreement with the Saudi club”.
