CSL: Shandong Luneng forward Roger Guedes prepares to take unpaid wages issue to Fifa as more reports emerge
- Roger Guedes set to take his case to the world governing body after going three months without pay in China
The forward, who has not played a game for Shandong this season, has been the subject of transfer speculation with a potential return to former club Atletico Mineiro touted.
Guedes enjoyed a productive loan spell at Atletico Mineiro between December 2017 and July 2018, scoring nine goals in 12 appearances, and the club president has already stated his desire to bring the 23-year-old home to Brazil, but there could be a lengthy wait if the contract issue becomes a legal matter.
Guedes, who has scored 14 goals in 30 games during a two-year spell with Shandong, appears well out of favour at the club and has yet to make an appearance this season after nine rounds of games.
According to a report on globoesporte.com, the forward informed the club that he has escalated the case of his missing salary to Fifa’s arbitration panel and is requesting a termination of his contract in China.
