Lookman case, the effects: what you risk

The clash continues. Lookman who deserts training on one side, Atalanta from another, with the club that at the moment can very little, if not passively witnessing the Nigerian conduct. The lawyer Eduardo Chacchio, one of the best known sports law experts, helps us to understand what can happen in these cases. “For the provisions of the collective agreement, the footballer who does not present himself to carry out the professional services, a dispute can be subject to the company with a request for reducing the contractual fees in front of the competent arbitration college – explains Chiacchio -. There is that of Serie A, of B, C, also of D. in the event that the absence is repeated, the company can also propose to the referee college in the case, Further persistence of the non -fulfillment, also the termination of the contract “.

Solution of the contract which obviously is not a practicable solution in the ongoing clash, since it would be a great favor to Lookman. There was talk of reduction of fees to the maximum extent: that is? “At 60%, in some particular cases even 100%. In extreme cases then the company can also start legal action for compensation for damages,” says Chiacchio. And if the player should present a medical certificate tomorrow, thus motivating the absence? “The club will immediately send him the tax visit, as happens in normal jobs, on the other hand the contract of the players is a normal employment contract”. In the end, what can the clash between clubs and footballer lead to? “Meanwhile, it depends on the case at case, there are presidents who already act the next day, others who try the Bonaria route, also because with the start of a legal action, tensions between the parties are tensile.”

If the player is not transferred to the market, in the absence of the pending cause, the club can then adopt other measures, such as placing it out of pink, despite having to make available all the suitable tools to train, albeit not with the first team. Then it always depends on the decision of the arbitration college that the reinstatement can have. “Unfortunately, these clashes are now a trend that in time is reviewing more and more often, and the ball is in the hands of the players. There are many cases at all levels, then the questions are different: there are clubs that have all the interest in resolving the contract to save the salary, but if the player has a consistent property value, this never happens. Many times the opposite occurs, that is, the club does not convene the footballer. Reintegration: they are cases that are often seen in B and C, rarely in A “, concludes Chiacchio.
