They had hoped to be joined by Cristiano Ronaldo, who was likely to leave Al-Nassr at the time, but the 40-year-old had no interest in the move.
Club president Hicham Aït-Menna revealed that there were talks and spoke about the conversation between the two.
Aït-Menna said: “Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t have come for the money – he doesn’t need it. I don’t know how the rumour spread, but yes, I did reach out to one of his agent friends about three and a half or four months ago, asking: ‘Would he want to play the Club World Cup?’ He replied, ‘Listen, I don’t think so.'"
