Malang Sarr, the French centre-back who spent 2020/21 at Porto on loan from Chelsea, was threatened after joining Neom in Saudi Arabia on a free in the last summer window after two seasons at Lens. According to L'Équipe, the incident occurred during a pre-season camp in Marbella in late July.
He was reportedly approached by individuals linked to a former agent while dining with two team-mates at a five-star hotel.
The group is said to have taken him by force to the hotel bar and threatened him during a heated row over commissions tied to the move.
On the eve of the incident, Sarr’s brother is said to have contacted the player.
Sarr chose not to file a police complaint after the threats.
