If the transfer window officially closed its doors this Thursday, it continues in the legal field today. While Saïd Benrahma’s transfer to OL seemed completed last night, the Algerian international was ultimately forced to stay at West Ham, failing to see the documents relating to his transfer sent in time. OL, furious, published a vitriolic press release, evoking a “lack of respect” from his English counterpart. Later in the evening, we learned that another deal, this time involving Spaniard Pablo Fornals, had also collapsed, still with West Ham in the loop.
If the newspaper The Team mentioned the possibility of seeing OL appeal to FIFA and its judicial bodies, this avenue is gaining momentum again this Friday. As reported by Daily Mail, the highest authority in world football has indeed opened an investigation into these two transfers in question. The objective? Identify the causes of these imponderables, while West Ham was accused of having botched the administrative formalities (the English club cries computer bug). In recent hours, The Team still mentioned the possibility of believing in Benrahma’s arrival at OL, but taking it with a grain of salt.
