Defender Sambinha is seeking to leave Hapoel Ironi Tiberias due to an unresolved contract dispute and unpaid wages. After completing a suspension, Sambinha remains unable to play because his contract has not yet been approved by the budget control authority. A legal notice has been sent to the club demanding the regularization of Sambinha's status, as he has also not received two months' salary. If a resolution is not found, Sambinha may pursue arbitration to terminate his contract.
Sources close to Sambinha indicate the dispute stems from a financial disagreement. Sambinha signed a two-year contract last season, which is set to expire at the end of the current season. However, the club has reportedly struggled to meet his salary obligations and requested he sign a new six-month contract with reduced terms. Sambinha and his representatives have refused this request, insisting on honoring the original agreement.
Sambinha's agent, Shahar Greenberg, stated that the player is frustrated and disappointed. Despite continuing to train with the team and showing patience, Sambinha cannot return to play due to the ongoing contract and budget control issues. The situation makes Sambinha's continued presence with Hapoel Ironi Tiberias increasingly unlikely. If no agreement is reached, he may seek release through arbitration, similar to a previous case involving player Hadida.
Hapoel Ironi Tiberias responded by stating they have not yet received the complaint regarding Sambinha and will review and respond once it arrives.
