13 Artem Dovbyk has been a phenomenal signing for Girona. He arrived last summer from Dnipro-1, and has proceeded to score 19 goals in La Liga across 34 appearances, which has him on track to win the Pichichi Trophy in his debut season.
However, that deal with Dnipro-1 could end up landing Girona in hot water. Accusations have been made by lawyer Evgeniy Kuzmin that the two clubs engaged in a number of irregularities during last summer’s operation.
It’s claimed that a fraudulent plan was carried out as way for the payment of taxes in Ukraine to be evaded, as explained by Kuzmin, with quotes covered by MD.
“All payments should go only to Ukrainian bank accounts. If we talk about sports law, the footballer is registered as a client of a Ukrainian company owned by Lyndovsky (his agent). And only this organisation has the right to accept payments for Artem Dovbyk.”
Kuzmin also confirmed that he is set to file an official complaint over the matter to UEFA.
“I am confident that the competent UEFA bodies, to which I have prepared a complaint, will investigate these violations and make a fair and appropriate decision. I hope that the Ukrainian Football Federation will pay attention to this matter.”
If the matter is pursued, Girona could face serious consequences if found to be guilty. A fine would be the lowest punishment, while the harshest sanction could be expulsion from La Liga and the Champions League, where they are on course to be playing next season.
