Sunshine Stars are said to be in serious danger of a ban by world football governing body FIFA, if the allegation that they paid part of the subsequent transfer money for Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo’s switch to Leganes from Chelsea to a party not involved with the player is found to be true.

According to a source, there is tension in the club after ASC Jobisports Academy alleged that they paid a Lagos-based agent a percentage from Omeruo’s transfer to La Liga even when he was not the one who gave Sunshine Stars the player.

“Sunshine Stars agreed in writing with Jobisports, the source for Omeruo, they will pay them 40% of the subsequent transfer of the player. This is documented,” stated the source.

“However, when the money hit Sunshine Stars bank account, they chose to pay an agent, who is not known to this transaction, and also allegedly shared the money between themselves.

“JobiSports have a good, air-tight case and have taken their case to the Nigeria Football Federation before they head to FIFA court.”
