Willem II has taken a training compensation case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with the claim centred on a player who was under contract at the club five years ago. The Eredivisie side is seeking money linked to Greek defender Nikolaos Michelis.
Michelis joined Willem II on loan from AC Milan in 2021. The source report frames the dispute around a claim that the club says it lodged one day too late, which has put the matter before the sporting tribunal.
The case highlights how training compensation rules can outlast a player’s time at a club, with clubs that developed a player sometimes pursuing payment years after a transfer or loan has ended.
