Abdallah Deeb, a 20 years old brilliant Jordanian soccer player who was among the Youth National Team in the last World cup is causing a stir between Jordan and Bahrain. The player who plays with Al-Wihdat and Jordan national team arrived to Bahrain last month with his father and signed for Al-Rifah Club without taking permission from his team. Rumors circulated that the player received $100.000 in cash for signing the contract and apparently Al-Wihdat wants to get his piece of this sum of money. Last year, Al-Ahli soccer team from the UAE approached AL-Wihdat regarding Deeb but its offer was turned down. Deeb and other genius Jordanian players are becoming main bank-rollers to poorly funded soccer teams in the Kingdom; many of them hope to sell their players to rich clubs particularly in the Gulf area.
According to FIFA regulations, what the player did was legal since he is an amateur and not a professional player. Therefore, he can sign professionally with any team that he likes to join. Taking in a surprise, Al-Wihdat decided to suspend the player for a year and threatened to take the case to FIFA. The (JFA)Jordanian Football Association did not comment on the case so far. Deeb is supposed to join the National team in their first match against Kyrghastan next month. Meanwhile, Deeb does not seem to be affected psychologically with all this drama. He played yesterday for the first time for his new team and he was impressive. I say let Abdallah Deeb be free.

So what Abdallah Deeb suppose to do! Sell Falafel for the rest of his life. These kind of opportunities come once in life. Good for him
He should treated like any professionals in the country and in the world.
He should have his rights and freedom to chose locally and offshore whatever he likes to do.
But look to those greedy guys just more politics.
