Transfer Fee Incident
In 2018 SJK received an unexpeted bill of 80 000 euros for services of the player who played only in 8 matches. As his contract with SJK was his first professional contract, training compensation of 80 000 euros would have to be paid by SJK to three Spanish teams. In his previous team, he assumably had been salaried under the counter and his then salary of 1500 euros per month deceived the management of SJK to believe that there would not be such a large training compensation to be paid. The amount of 1500 euros was presented to SJK management by the representatives of the player, even though a different amount was registered to the official FIFA records. After falling victim to the scam, SJK begun to promote awareness for shady player transfer business practices.[3]
