Former PSV full-back Matteo Dams revealed that Al-Ahli’s lucrative offer and strong push convinced him to move to Saudi Arabia.

Dams said one phone call from his agent shifted his stance, and Al-Ahli’s insistence, plus coach support, sealed the deal. He later laughed at the “ridiculously high” wages compared to PSV, acknowledging criticism but stressing his commitment to playing in Saudi Arabia.
