FC Twente and South Africa attacker Bernard Parker says he is aware of claims that he could be banned for six months by FIFA for signing contracts with two different clubs.
The Holland-based forward explained how the claim originated when speaking to Kickoff.com.
"What happened is that when I signed for Twente about seven months ago, my agent [Mike Makaab] was still in the process of terminating my contract with Red Star Belgrade, where I was playing before going to Holland. So that means at the time of signing for Twente I had two contracts [which is not allowed in terms of FIFA's regulations], but one was being terminated," Parker said.
The 23-year-old had allegedly gone some months without pay at Red Star, hence Makaab's request to FIFA to terminate the contract.
FIFA's regulations on status and transfer of players state that: "A contract may be terminated by either party without consequences of any kind (either payment of compensation or imposition of sporting sanctions) where there is just cause" and Parker's ‘just cause' was that Red Star breached the contract by failing to pay his salary, when they were in financial crisis.
Parker said the issue is now water under the bridge. "Mike says everything has been sorted out," he said.
