On December 6, it was announced that FIFA has imposed a transfer ban on the Moscow club CSKA until the summer of 2026. The reason for this decision was the club's failure to fulfill its obligation to pay 3 million euros for the transfer of Nigerian footballer Chidera Ejuke from the Dutch club Heerenveen.
CSKA was unable to make the payment due to international sanctions, which led to FIFA's penalties. Nevertheless, the club's communications director stated that there is no reason for concern and that the ban will be lifted. However, specific steps to resolve the issue have not yet been disclosed.
This situation is particularly disappointing for the fans of Abbosbek Fayzullayev, as the transfer restrictions make it unlikely for him to be sold to European clubs, despite interest from teams in Spain and France. CSKA will struggle to find a replacement for the Uzbek midfielder, complicating matters for the club.
