Recently, the domestic football world has been in a state of flux, and international footballer Dai Weijun has become the center of public opinion because he is owed wages by Shenzhen Football Club for four months. He has submitted an application to the CFA to resume his free agency. In the early hours of this morning, a reporter revealed that French League 2 soccer club Sochaux had invited Dai Weijun for a trial, while many European clubs had also expressed strong interest in him. In the evening, Dai Weijun's lawyer spoke out on social media, pointing out the FA's double standards in dealing with the issue of unpaid wages.
The statement of Dai Weijun's attorney, Bing Zhang, follows:
The grace period notice issued by the CFA on April 3 for clubs to deal with wage arrears is actually an adjustment to the original access rule; however, it does not mean that the CFA has modified the free agency rule (which is set by FIFA at two months in arrears, and by most Chinese Super League (CSL) work contracts at three months in arrears). The access rule goes hand in hand with the free agency rule. Therefore, while the CFA allows clubs to enter due to unpaid wages, players still have the right to request free agency due to two months of unpaid wages.
Behind this incident, Dai Weijun's career seems to be going through an unprecedented test. However, the charm of soccer lies in its uncertainty, and the future direction of Dai Weijun will undoubtedly become the focus of attention.
