San-Makaiman, 28, wore the Fenerbahce shirt 2024-2025 before returning to the Saudi team after the loan period ended.
During an interview with one of the channels on the YouTube platform, San-Makaiman accused his former club of forcing him to use injections containing stimulants while receiving treatment from an injury that he suffered, while the club denied this, stressing that he would take legal measures against the player.

“I am a honest person, so I do not want to put people in critical situations, but I reached a stage where I am not afraid of anything. They tried (so we scratch), as they did not have things that have unnecessarily and threatened me if I disclosed the matter.”
While the French player praised Fenerbahce fans, he moved to talk about what he called “conspiracies, threats and lack of sympathy by the club, which he did not even care about because his father was dying in the hospital.”
“When my father fell ill, the club officials refused my travel to be by his side, where is the human side? I was in my weakest psychological period.”
“When you hear the voice of your children screaming on the phone because of their detention from immigration officials and they are prevented from entering the country and are threatened, you realize that everything that matters to the club is the match that we only play.”
San-Makaiman believes that the psychological instability he lived with Fenerbahce was a key factor in his decline to the point that he spoke to the face of face with Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.
“I tried to offer my best despite everything. I spoke with Mourinho, he is an exceptional coach and I was a great respect. He helped me in my development, but unfortunately we were unable to achieve goals. Even he was placed on his way a lot of obstacles.”
New clarification
Saint-Makaiman’s comments were resonated and spread like wildfire on social media, to bring the player out with a new clarification through his official account on the “X” platform.
I see that it goes in all directions on Twitter suddenly I will specify what I said, I was talking about these people around the club who are ready for anything. In my case when I was sick I was almost given a treatment which is considered to be a doping product, I don’t know … https://t.co/XPB0QyN4Av

“I see that things began to go out of their context on Twitter (X), so I will explain what I said: I was talking about those people around the club who are ready to do anything,” said San-Maximan.
“In my case, when I fell ill, they gave me a treatment that was considered an active substance. I do not know what the goal was that group of doctors seeking from this.”
Fenerbah is shocked
On the other hand, Fenerbahce club expressed its shock and amazement from the statements of San-Makaximan, and confirmed in a statement published on its official website that it will take legal measures against the player.
