Dolly to challenge PSL buyout clause ruling at arbitration

Keagan Dolly’s legal representatives will take his contractual dispute with Mamelodi Sundowns to arbitration with the SA Football Asscoiation‚ TMG Sport has learnt.

Dolly was taken to the Premier Soccer League’s dispute resolution chamber (DRC) by Sundowns after he received an offer of around R14-million from Olympiacos – then later a little more from Montpellier – which surpassed an amount of R12-milllion in the player’s contractual buyout clause.

Sundowns asserted that the R12-million figure was a mistake made when an initial 2014 contract‚ which stipulated a European buyout sum of R25 million‚ was amended in 2015. The DRC ruled in Sundowns’ favour.

TMG Sport is reliably informed that Dolly’s representative will now appeal the DRC’s finding at arbitration with Safa. – TMG Digital
