Czinege brought a suit against Inter

Juraj Czinege, his two agents and SFZ officials still haven´t succeeded in solving this complicated problem. As a result, GAK Graz still haven´t progressed in the situation. Everything remained the same as it was in the past days: Czinege withdrew from the contract with Inter, normally valid until the summer 2003, at the end of the previous season. The club not fulfilling financial obligations was Juraj´s reason. Inter representatives however didn´t accept the withdrawal and consider the contract valid. SFZ decided to stop Czinege´s move to Austria and refused to give out a clearance for the player based on documents from both parties. FIFA will have to deal with it as they seem to be the only one to decide whether Czinege is allowed to sign a professional contract with his new team.

Present at the meeting were also player´s agents Juraj Venglos and Jozef Tokos with Vladimir Wanke representing the SFZ. “The meeting wasn´t of any help. SFZ expressed their negative view and the player realised that they still consider his contract to be valid and are not to give out a clearance for him. The player should have received the clearance though because according to the rules a player is allowed to transfer when he cancels his old contract by right. And this is what it´s all about. SFZ and their decision caused that the player will not be able to work and earn his wage and that´s why we will be demanding a compensation.
Today, Juraj Czinege brought a suit against Inter demanding the money he should have already received by February the latest. The player will again be asking FIFA for help to get at least a temporary clearance,” told SITA Jozef Tokos, one of Czinege´s agents.
All in all, Czinege has to wait for what FIFA will have to say. He probably won´t be in football action before this happens. Since he asked for his clearance in July, he is not limited by the transfer deadline for Slovak player which is August 11, 2002. “There should be an arbitrary commission to solve such issues but unfortunately we don´t have one in Slovakia,” added Jozef Tokos.
