Footballer faces nightmare after contract saga with Crawley Town
- Muhammadu Faal was announced as a player for Crawley Town but did not receive a finalized contract.
- After being misled about his medical examination, Faal learned Crawley Town refused to meet necessary contract terms.
- Faal plans to take legal action against Crawley Town, feeling he is owed the contract he signed.
In England, professional footballer Muhammadu Faal experienced a troubling ordeal during his attempted transfer to Crawley Town. Initially announced as a new signing on July 22, this joy quickly turned into frustration when he never received a finalized contract. Miscommunication from the club indicated that Faal had failed his medical—an accusation that was later rectified, stating there was no actual issue. Despite this, Crawley Town refused to negotiate contract terms in accordance with English Football League (EFL) regulations, leading to complications with his registration to play. On August 12, Faal was informed that the club would no longer pursue his contract, despite his belief that a valid contract had been established. This left him in a precarious situation, missing the anticipated opportunity to play competitively and achieve personal goals like buying a dream home for his family. He believes the situation is a result of internal conflicts amongst the club’s leadership about his potential at the club. Faced with this setback, Faal claims he is owed the six-month contract and is gearing up to take legal action against Crawley Town in hopes of resolving the issue.
