Kayserispor are facing a FIFA transfer ban for failing to pay the transfer fee of Ghana midfielder Bernard Mensah from Atlético Madrid.
The Turkish side are racing against time to pay 3.6 million euros to the Spanish side for the permanent transfer of the Ghanaian.
Mensah joined the Turkish side on a permanent contract after excelling on an initial loan deal.
But Kayserispor are yet to pay a penny to the Spanish side leading to a complaint to the world governing body, FIFA.
“Atlético complained to FIFA because we couldn’t make the Mensah transfer payment. The Spanish club requested a three-window ban and FIFA decided that Atletico are absolutely right,” Berna Gozbasi told ‘TV1’.
“We request an improvement in the payment of both the player and the Spanish club. We ask for a discount and ease of payment. It is being negotiated. I hope we will get along somehow. Otherwise, we will receive a sanction”, he asked.
The Ghana international, who has returned to full scale training after the coronavirus shutdown, is angling for a move away from the club.
