Coach Yusri unaware of 'Messi' joining Perak

IPOH: Perak coach Yusri Che Lah has dismissed rumours surrounding the potential transfer of Terengganu midfielder Faiz Nasir to his team for the 2024 M-League season.

The coach claimed he is unaware of any discussions with the 31-year-old former national player, popularly known as the "Malaysian Messi" from Pasir Mas, Kelantan.

"It's only a rumour, and if you want to know more about the situation, you can ask the management because it falls under their jurisdiction," he told Bernama today.

Social media speculation had linked Faiz, who played on loan at Kelantan United this season, with a potential transfer to Perak.

Faiz also had stints with Penang Water Supply Corporation FC, Felcra, Selangor, and Terengganu.

Meanwhile, the Bos Gaurus have signed two former under-23 national players — Tommy Mawat Bada from Negri Sembilan and Nur Azfar Fikri Azhar from Terengganu. - Bernama
