Makinwa Reports Chinese Club To Fifa Over Dispute

Nigeria striker, Ayodele
Makinwa has asked Fifa for help in his fight for compensation from China League One club, Beijing Baxy.
The 30-year-old has asked football’s world governing body to intervene in his dispute with Baxy after the club terminated his contract, just one year into a two-year deal.
He said he had yet to receive an official statement from the club for the early termination of his contract and has decided to take his case to Fifa via his legal team.
The former Lazio striker who scored four goals in 11 matches for the Chinese side aims to prove Baxy were wrong to terminate his contract, and also seek outstanding salary, bonuses, ticket refund and compensation with interest.
“We have already written to Fifa showing proof that they were wrong and failed to respect the terms and conditions of my contract,” he said.
“They are still owing me salary, ticket refund, bonuses and I have also asked for compensation with interest.
“If everything was done right, I could have joined another team earlier but they’ve made life difficult hence my decision to go to Fifa.”
According to China-based Peter Davis, a writer for Wild East Football, contract disputes are becoming prevalent in Chinese football.
