Egyptian giants Zamalek could be sanctioned with a transfer ban or relegation after duping Benjamin Acheampong from more than $1-million (R16m).
The 30-year-old striker was ordered to receive a payment of an estimated R16m from Zamalek by the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) over a controversial contract dispute dating back to 2018.
After scoring two goals in six games Acheampong terminated his four-year contract after just 11 months at the club, citing the five-time CAF Champions League winners not paying him correctly.
"This is not right - this is what I do to feed my family," he told BBC Sport Africa. "They can't treat people like animals. We are humans and we came here to work."
