Russian side CSKA Moscow say they will formally lodge a protest against the decision of Nigeria international Chidera Ejuke to terminate his deal at the club.
Ejuke terminated his deal with the Russian club in line with FIFA ruling which allows players playing in the war zone of both countries to terminate their contract and move on a free transfer to any club.
The club announced on their official website that Ejuke and midfielder Arnor Sigurdsson have taken advantage of the FIFA amendment allowing them to unilaterally suspend their contract with the club until June 30, 2023.
They however say they will be contesting the decision in court soon as they felt it’s unfair considering that they meet up with all of the financial obligations due to the players despite the situation in the country.
“PFC CSKA regrets the decision of the players, which was made despite the club’s efforts and contractual obligations. As we reported earlier, PFC CSKA plans to apply to the courts to protect its interests in connection with the decision of FIFA, which we consider discriminatory and contrary to the charter of this organization”, the statement reads.
German Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin are expected to announce the signing of the 24 year old Nigerian on a free transfer in the coming days as reported by OwnGoalNigeria.com.
