Ukraine’s Shakhtar tackles FIFA on $42M transfer market case

GENEVA: A $42 million claim for compensation from FIFA will be tough for Shakhtar Donetsk to win, the Ukrainian club’s chief executive acknowledged Friday, though a clear message had been sent by taking the case to sport’s highest court.
Shakhtar are determined not to be a pushover in the January transfer window.
Not after the club believed they lost control of too many players who left Ukraine this year as other teams gained from FIFA’s emergency transfer rules during the Russian invasion.
