Journalist Igor Tsyganyk confirmed that Shakhtar are planning to go to court over a new FIFA rule, according to which foreign players have the right to suspend their contracts with Ukrainian clubs for the 2022/23 season.

It is reported that the amount of the claim of the Donetsk club to the organization will be about 50 million euros..

The Pitmen motivate their claim by the fact that if FIFA protects the players, it must protect the clubs and compensate them for the damage caused by the inability to sell some players and earn money because of the war.

Shakhtar hope that the story will have a positive ending. Alternatively, FIFA will not want to sue, will compromise and try to compensate for the damage caused by its innovation.

Recall that the football season in Ukraine was suspended, and the players of the clubs received from FIFA the opportunity to continue their careers in other teams.

Shakhtar players Alan Patrick, Bogdan Vyunik, Vitao, Tete, Vinicius Tobias, Maicon, Junior Moraes, Fernando, Neres, Marcos Antonio and Pedrinho have already changed teams or gone on loan due to the Russian invasion.
