Matuzalém saga
On 2 July, Matuzalém notified Shakhtar in writing that he was terminating their contract with immediate effect. On 5 July, Shakhtar responded stating that Matuzalém and/or his new club should pay the release clause in his contract of €25 million, or that they would take legal action.[1]
On 18 July, Real Zaragoza presented Matuzalém as their newest signing.[11]
On 2 November, Shakhtar's case with Matuzalém was considered by FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), ruling that Matuzalém and Zaragoza were jointly and severally liable, ordering a payment of €6,800,000 to Shakhtar.[1][12]
On 19 March, Shakhtar appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that the fee for Matuzalém set by FIFA DRC was too low, with Matuzalém and Zaragoza making a counter appeal to CAS for the compensation the following day.
On 19 May, the CAS ordered Matuzalém to pay €11,858,934 to Shakhtar for breach of contract.[13][14] The decision was upheld by the Swiss Federal Tribunal.[15]
Zaragoza would also later pay Shakhtar €500,000, on 1 September 2010, as part of the Matuzalém sage.[16]
