No Debut For RAHEEM LAWAL, Problem Does Not End
Raheem Lawal will not make his debut for Adana Demirspor in Sunday's game against Denizlispor, a club insider has informed <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />The Nigeria international in the last hours of the summer transfer market signed a two - year contract with the Turkish first division club. <br /><br />To force his transfer to Turkey, Lawal unilaterally terminated his contract with Spanish club Atletico Baleares, claiming he was owed arrears of emoluments.<br /><br />'''It shall be presumed, unless established to the contrary, that any club signing a professional who has terminated his contract without just cause has induced that professional to commit a breach. The club shall be banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for two registration periods,'' Fifa states in its regulations and adds:<br /><br />''A club intending to conclude a contract with a professional must inform the player’s current club in writing before entering into negotiations with him. Any breach of this provision shall be subject to appropriate sanctions.''<br /><br />Now, football governing body Fifa has to mediate in the dispute between Lawal and Atletico Baleares, and also rubber-stamp the player's move to Turkey.<br /><br />The temporary solution to Lawal's problem is for UEFA to issue him with a temporary license. So far, that has not been forthcoming.<br /><br />In practice, it could take more than a month before Fifa communicates its findings to Adana Demirspor, Atletico Baleares and Raheem Lawal.<br /><br /><br /><br />
