Spanish top division side Celta Vigo have made it clear that they will be taking legal action if their new signing Victory Beniangba doesn’t honour the agreement signed last month.
As first reported by OwnGoalNigeria.com and later confirmed by the president of the team Carlos Mouriño on the 1st of August, Celta Vigo agreed a deal to sign the 19 year old on a four year deal following the expiration of his deal at Egyptian side Tala’ea El Gaish.
However, the scorer of seven goals in 18 games last season in the Egyptian top division is yet to arrive Spain to formally begin his career. Some media reports are even suggesting that the club haven’t been able to track him down for days now.
They believe he is no longer keen on the move following an offer from Belgium side Genk. Reports in Belgium suggest he is more inclined to joining the Belgium side and want to walk away from the agreement with Celta Vigo.
Victory and his agent according to reports have already reached agreement with Genk and unlike at Celta Vigo, he will be integrated into the first team upon his arrival, he will also earn more money than he agreed to at Celta Vigo.
Celta Vigo have now made it clear that will be seeking legal redress if he backtracks on the signed agreement. Saying they didn’t announce his signing because they are busy working out his work permit with the delay traced to the late receival of his international transfer certificate (ITC).
Claudio Giráldez, coach of Celta B, assured on Sunday after the game against Sanse that the club has informed him that the striker is already signed: “I know he belongs to the club, he has signed with the club. We’ll see if he arrives on time or if he doesn’t the club announced that he was signed and from then on let’s see what happens.
‘There was a problem with the transfer issue. He’s a player from outside. If he comes to contribute, great and, if he doesn’t come, then he doesn’t come It’s not something I have to put myself in”, he rounded up saying.
The club believe they have what it takes to win the case if it gets to FIFA in the event that Victory fail to turn up and honour the details of the agreement signed.
