Belgian FA imposes transfer ban on 777 owned Standard Liege over Aron Dønnum transfer and other offenses | OneFootball

The Belgian FA have announced that Standard Liege are now under a transfer embargo. This is the second time this season that the side have been put under a transfer ban. The first came after a non-payment of group insurance, which was quickly rectified.

This time, the ban relates to non-payments concerning the transfer of Aron Dønnum and Ilyes Ziani. There is also a factor of missed payments to the ONSS, the Belgian Department of Social Security. The ban will be in place for the January transfer window and could seriously hamper the sides plans for the rest of the season. Reports had suggested that the side wanted to bring in another attacking player to bolster their goal scoring options, yet these will now have to be put on hold until the ban is lifted.

Standard are not the only 777 side to have faced transfer bans this season. The sides Brazilian club Vaso de Gamo were also put under an embargo over late payment of transfer fees back in September.
