Houssine Kharja’s contract termination by Al Arabi follows his involvement in a fight with Brazilian player Néné, and despite a significant sanction of 10 matches and a fine of 84,000 euros. This incident led to the club’s decision to part ways with Kharja, who had joined Al Arabi last summer, signing a two-year contract. The termination comes shortly after the club’s defeat against Lekhwiya.
It’s a reminder of the stringent consequences players may face for disciplinary issues, especially in cases of on-field altercations. Kharja, with experience at clubs like Inter Milan, had a short-lived stint with Al Arabi, playing 19 matches and scoring 2 goals before his contract was terminated.
