Saudi Arabian clubs have been recruiting like crazy during the hot summer, with news of French striker Binschmar joining the Etihad in the center of attention. However, the Ballon d'Or winner has recently had a falling out with his coach Newnoo, who is rumored to have boycotted training at one point, while Newnoo has even proposed to put him on a long layoff, making the relationship extremely tense.
Saudi media outlet Asharq Al-Aswat revealed that Nuno believes that Bensma's style of play is not in line with the team's, and that Bensma have failed to win any matches despite Etihad's winning streak at the start of the campaign. Recently, Nuno has also ceded the captaincy to club legend Romano Leno, failing to fulfill the promise of captaincy that he made when he signed for Bensma. Rumor has it that Binschmar has refused to train recently, and Nuenu is pressuring the club not to include him as a starter.
