The Andalusian club have irked PSV Eindhoven with their transfer dealings as they still owe 2 million Euros for the transfer of Arouna Kone.
Sevilla’s preparations for the 2012/13 Spanish top flight football are going in full flow, with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lopez to their ranks.
Transfer meddling of the Spanish club have been called into question as they have yet to pay off their debts for the purchase of Arouna Kone from PSV Eindhoven.
The Dutch club are in no mood to be passed over for their rightful sums and have voiced their discontentment at the behaviour of their counterparts.
In an official statement on their website, PSV announced that Sevilla have refused to meet their contractual agreements, as well as mediation from the European Club Association.
"Today Sevilla have added a new Spanish episode by simply refusing to pay a contractual obligation and also refusing mediation from the European Club Association," the statement on PSV’s website read.
"The procedures with FIFA to settle disputes are lengthy, and it looks as if some Spanish clubs, like Sevilla, are misusing the extra time to spend their money differently and maybe a future administrative bankruptcy protects them from paying the bills.”
"In this case Sevilla should pay PSV €2m because of a contractual obligation about Arouna Kone, dated August 29, 2007, which reads; 'In case the player is transferred to a third club or upon termination of his contract (for whatever reason) Sevilla will
always pay €2m to PSV'. There can be no multi-interpretation of this clause, Sevilla should simply pay."
PSV CEO, Tiny Sanders, urged the governing bodies to take concrete steps in the process to stop Spanish clubs like Sevilla from using the bankruptcy policies to their advantage, while clubs are ripped of their rights.
"We urge FIFA, UEFA, ECA, but especially the Spanish football environment to start working on the improvement of the reputation of Spanish clubs. The first step is to fulfil contractual obligations."
It is not the first time http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 are being ripped by a Spanish club, and have gone to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for Real Betis’ refusal to pay Robert’s 3.7 million Euros transfer fee.
The CAS demanded Los Verdiblancos to pay a fee of 2 million Euros, a sum the Eindhoven giants are still awaiting to this day.
