What happened to the former Inter who is looking for a team? – Corriere.it

a sad time for Safir Taiderborn in Algeria in 1992 and with a French passport, who played for Italy Inter, Bologna and Sassuolo, and who also boasts a very short experience at Southampton that finished even before starting. Then a wander through the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. on October 14, 2020 when Taider accepts the offer of Al Ain FC. With the Saudi team, however, the troubles begin as the club begins not to pay the players’ salaries. This prompts Taider to disengage in August 2021, almost a year after his arrival. A long legal battle begins with the FIFA court which proves him right: the Saudi team must pay him 6 million euros.

But the money doesn’t arrive, calls from other teams and the player disappears by radars. In various interviews Taider has said that he is in financial difficulty, that he has lost everything because of those 6 million euros that he still has to receive from the Saudi club and that he is unable to pay his children’s school fees.

A denial had then arrived from the person concerned, but the fact is that Taider today – at the age of 31 – really off the radar of great football even if he continues to train and, at least on social media, appears in great shape. So far, the appeals of Mahrez, his compatriot at Manchester City, in finding him a team and urging the president of Al Ain FC to pay, have come to nothing.

And to think that only 10 years Taider was called by Inter. It was the summer of 2013, but something broke with the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2014, when he was sacrificed to get to the striker Osvaldo who played for Southampton. In England Taider’s adventure lasts only 26 days. his quarrel with the then coach Ronald Koeman because he couldn’t find space is now history: an impatience, in hindsight, paid very dearly.
