According to Al-Riyadh newspaper, Al-Shabab snubbed several offers for Azmi because no club has met their financial demands.

Consequently, the 24-year-old will stay with Al-Shabab next season but will not be able to play in the Saudi League because the club already has three foreigners in their squad.

Al-Shabab's new acquisition Argentinean midfielder Juan Manuel Matinez joins Ghanaian striker Godwin Attram and Nigeria's Michael Enramo, which means there is no room for Azmi.

It remains to be seen whether the former PAOK Saloniki man will accept his current situation or will seek a move away from Al-Shabab.
