East Bengal, Delhi FC and Anwar Ali have all been handed bans for his transfer from Mohun Bagan SG. The PSC judged the player to have terminated his four-year loan move without just cause, and banned him for four months.
On the other hand, the trio mentioned above were all ordered to pay the Mariners a fine worth ₹12.9 crore. Now, a detailed breakup of the fee has come to light courtesy of Marcus Mergulhao of TOI.
Anwar Ali’s 12.9 crore fine: Detailed breakup of components revealed
How the fine in Anwar Ali order is calculated
— Marcus Mergulhao (@MarcusMergulhao) September 10, 2024
Residual value of Anwar Ali’s contract with Bagan: Rs 8.4 crore
Remuneration already paid by Bagan under loan agreement: Rs 2 crore
Other objective criteria including damage suffered by Club: Rs 2.5 crore#IndianFootball
Here is how the ₹12.9 crore figure was reached:
₹8.4 crore has been added as it was the residual value of Anwar Ali’s contract with the Mariners. ₹2 crore was already paid by the club as a loan fee to Delhi FC, while damages suffered by the club during this time amount to ₹2.5 crore.
Reports suggest that the deal between East Bengal and Delhi FC for Anwar Ali included a clause which mentioned that any fine for the transfer would have to be shared between the Torch Bearers and the player.
As a result, it remains to be seen whether the decision is appealed by the parties or whether they resign to paying the fee.
