Gaziantep FK announced that it will exercise its legal rights over Christopher Lungoyi's contract termination. Lungoyi had been transferred from Juventus and signed with Polish team Wieczysta Krakow.

Lungoyi's contract

Gaziantep FK stated that Christopher Lungoyi had unilaterally terminated his contract without any valid reason.

It was reported that Lungoyi had signed a contract with Wieczysta Krakow, a Polish league team, and that the team had made an official offer to Gaziantep FK for Lungoyi on June 3, but the offered transfer fee was deemed insufficient by the club.

Gaziantep FK's decision

It was emphasized that all payments for the remaining two seasons of Lungoyi's contract had been made in accordance with FIFA regulations. The statement read: "The club has fulfilled all its sporting and financial obligations, and the player still has a contract with Gaziantep FK for another year. The fact that the player unilaterally terminated his contract without any valid reason and immediately signed a contract with the Polish club, despite the club's compliance with FIFA regulations, means that both the player and the Polish club have seriously violated FIFA regulations. Additionally, in a period where we are in transfer negotiations with many European clubs for the player, the fact that the player was persuaded to sign a contract is a serious violation of the club's rights under FIFA and CAS regulations."
