Liaoning appeals to FIFA

Chinese Super League club (CSL) Liaoning has appealed to FIFA for compensation fees from Bosnian club FK Slavija Sarajevo for the short-term deal with former Liaoning player Dai Lin, who is now headed to CSL club Shanghai Shenhua.

"We sent two letters to the Bosnian club in May and June and asked them to pay the club," said the club in a statement. "According to the FIFA rules, the club has to pay 150,000 euro for the training compensation as Dai trained and competed in Liaoning for five years (30,000 euro for each year).

"Without any reply from the club, we made an appeal to FIFA on June 20. FIFA responded to our complaint and has asked us to collect enough evidence before suing them."
