The mountain shook, but a mouse was born! The Sports Arbitration Court in Switzerland has ruled in the high-profile dispute between Köln and Olimpija, with young Jaka Čuber Potočnik at the center. And the outcome? Nothing new! CAS merely confirmed what FIFA had already pronounced: Köln is banned from buying players for two transfer windows, Jaka Čuber Potočnik is suspended for four months (half of the penalty has been served), and Olimpija will have to settle for a paltry compensation of €60,000. There’s no clear winner, but Jaka Čuber Potočnik might be the happiest as he’ll soon be back on the pitch…
The bigger losers are Köln and Olimpija; the former demanded the lifting of the ban on buying players, while the Dragons claimed they were entitled to €2.5 million in compensation. Neither the Germans nor the Slovenians got what they wanted.
Interestingly, Olimpija suffered financially due to their appeal to CAS compared to if they had accepted FIFA’s initially determined amount. Olimpija will have to bear its legal expenses, which means that considering the awarded amount, they’ll be “in the red” by more than €50,000!
