THE Argentine striker insisted he was a free agent when he signed in 2009 but former club Sarsfield have won their fight for compensation.

 

 

 

DUNDEE UNITED have been dealt a bitter blow after being told to pay up more than £200,000 for ex-player Damian Casalinuovo.

 

The Arabs took their case against Argentina’s Velez Sarsfield all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. However, late last night the panel found in favour of the South American club after a three-month wait.

 

The striker – who only played 25 league games for United – insisted he was a free agent when he signed in 2009 but Sarsfield claimed compensation for development costs.

 

And despite a FIFA tribunal reducing the initial claim down from £333,000, CAS have now told United they will have to pay £163,000 plus interest accrued in the four years since.

 

United have also revealed that the SFA disciplinary hearings for striker Nadir Ciftci and coach Darren Jackson arising from the League Cup loss at Inverness have been postponed until November 28 and December 5 respectively.
