FIFA Bans CSKA Moscow over Ejuke’s Transfer Fee

World football governing body, FIFA, has imposed a transfer ban on top Russian club, CSKA Moscow,  after the club  failed to pay the balance of the transfer fee for Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke.

FIFA ruled that the transfer ban on CSKA Moscow is until mid-2026, unless Dutch club SC Heerenveen are paid 3million Euros (Three Million Euros) being balance payment for the transfer of Ejuke to Russia.

Ejuke made the switch from Heerenveen to CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2020 after both clubs agreed on a transfer fee of 11.3 Million Euros. 

However, part of that amount has not yet been paid and this forced Heerenveen to drag CSKA Moscow to FIFA.

Meanwhile, another Super Eagles player, Maduka Okoye, has revealed he has been playing with injury for the past two months before he finally underwent surgery.

The Udinese goalkeeper through his Instagram page said he is happy the surgery has done and he is now looking forward to come back stronger.

“Surgery is done… played the last two months with a broken ligament in my hand,” he posted.

“For now I’ll be supporting the team from the stands, recover and work hard for a comeback in top form.”
