WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM CONTACTED BY A CLUB?
Make sure you have your ITC (International Transfer Certificate) or the details of the holding Association. The enquiring Club has no responsibility if you have an arrangement with an Agent. This is a matter that must be sorted out between you, the Player and your Agent before you sign any contract with the Club.
Once contact is made it will be a private matter between both parties.
